Default Happy with LED's PDLS Plus?

For those who have PLDS Plus (LED's), are you completely happy with the option? Worth the $. Considering the option for MY2015 build.

Maybe this will help. My opinion on the LED's at the end of this thread.

Do the LED lights swivel when you corner?

Totally blown away by them. I got to do some brisk night driving on rural Wisconsin roads (when the sign says "Rustic Road", take it), and never felt as though I was driving beyond them - and yes, they do swivel instantly.

Yes. Up to 15 degrees.

Thanks all.

If it came down to PSE or PDLS LED's, which would you choose?

Step-up - you would likely regret not having one of them, IMHO.

If I could only choose one for budgetary reasons, I say PSE.

But if you got the LEDs now you could always add the PSE down the road.

LEDs.

It's a bigger pain in the *** (assuming it's even possible) to add them post-production.

PSE, while nice, you can add afterward if you really want to keep everything OEM, or do something different and go AM. More choices, and arguably some less expensive options for PSE.

PSE is definitely a must have option, while LED is only nice to have, or rather very nice to have. Are you sure you don't have any other options on your wish list to say goodbye to? 18-Way seats? Bose? Light design package? Ventilated seats? Heated steering wheel?

Actually I think the change for the LED is a simply plug-and-play. The entire headlight assembly gets replaced, so just pop-out the old and plug-in the new!

As for PSE, and assuming you truly want OEM PSE, the install is more complicated as you have to get the console button installed in addition to the exhaust. But going with something like the AWE switchpath exhaust would be very simple. Don't even need to remove the rear bumper!

If I had to choose only one, I would go with the LED lights. You can always change exhausts but you may find you are happy with the non-PSE sounds!

I agree with the OP, PSE or one of the several aftermarket exhaust systems can always be added later. Select the must have options that only the factory can deliver and decide later on the "optional" items. This was the advise I was given by my salesman which I followed. I'm still interested in the PSE but honestly, the stock system sounds pretty darn good when you stomp on it.

Frankly, I think having an exhaust button to turn on and off is a little goofy. Seems like that with such an upgrade, it should just be "ON." Also, I was made curious in Money's journal thread and his AM of the AWE despite having PSE on his car.
