Default Swap Black for Chrome LED PDLS Painted Headlight Option XUB

My 991.1 GT3 RS (pic below) has LED PDLS headlights with the painted black Option XUB circa $250, my car is as new has 4k miles. If there is anyone in Switzerland who wants to swap for LED PDLS with non black also as new pls PM me

I think it just depends on personal preference, black headlights look better with more directly non contrasting lighter colors, I would even be happy with Bi-Xenons if it was an easy swap

There is no silver on the rest of the car, they look out of place, like the clear taillights. The black matches other black components on the car. That said, to each their own, even if 80% of the people like black better go with what please u.

I've got some silver LEDs that I would be happy to swap with you, but mine are from a .2. I'm not sure if the .1s and .2s are interchangeable even though they look identical.

+3 Edit: after looking at the pics posted with the silver outlines they do match your wheels very well and I see why you like the look, definitely pops and looks unique and classy...btw your car is beautiful, love the violet. Those lights would not work on my car at all but on yours, again, I see why you want to switch, I think it would look amazing and very rare.
