the .2 GT3 comes standard with PDLS in the silver headlight trim.
when you select the $700 option that just says PDLS it's for the black headlight trim. It doesn't say bi-xenon PDLS in black as the option, but that is what it is.
Then why under summary does it show with option code 603? Also, the regular PDLS lights appear in the graphics , both 2D and 3D.

603 is the option code for PDLS right from my 2014 GT3 build sheet
Option code for Bi-Xenon Headlights in Black with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) is XEX

I don't think so. I would like you to be correct, but Porsche knows that black headlights are prized, so they want to make us pay more for them.
When you choose PDLS, the headlight housing goes from a light gray to a dark grey, this is known. That does not mean it becomes black.
I would be happy to be proven wrong, but I haven't seen clear evidence that choosing PDLS gives you true black headlights, as the option for black headlights has always been distinguished with the word black in the formal description of the option.

In the standard equipment portion of the PDF in my configuration, it shows:
Someone else in an earlier post on this thread mentioned that selecting the PDLS option makes it black, I can't confirm that other than that the configuration image changes to a black color, but it does show PDLS as standard equipment, presumably in the silver/grey color
Porsche has been known to make mistakes before on this, such as memory package with 18 ways on the 991.1 GT3 etc.
Here is a pic of plain PDLS, option code 603. Look familiar? I believe the list of standard features has an error, and PDLS is NOT standard. The only black lights offered are the LEDs. That's my educated guess, but we will have to check with PCNA or dealer to be sure.
I was referring to the configurator appearance and not what it says in the options. Configurator in 2D the standard option is not black but when you add PDLS it becomes black.
Now if you switch to 3D the standard option is very black and when you pick PDLS it is also black but less black / dark than the standard option.
I know the LED in black is black but also the regular lights come in black too but is it the option with PDLS or without. I am assuming 2D is always correct except for when you paint in a different color it does not show.
As such i think PDLS for regular makes them black and silver on wheels should be darker than aluminium like on 2D and not on 3D
Am I the only one who wants to take his girlfriend AND his son for a drive? I can get electric seats... (which i think is an abomination) but I cany get a couple little jump seats in the back so i can take both my favorite ppl to the lake...
And while Im at it at... since when did we say its ok to time yourself... in other words, that clock on the dash is ugly and is contrary to EVERYTHING we teach at the track.
Can't answer your question, but adding to configurator oddities, in all but the chalk color, if you select the carbon fiber mirror housings and *don't* select the mirror stalk in gloss black, the mirror stalk will become body-colored... except in chalk. Then it stays black
The 3D configurator sometimes does not correctly update some details when you select options in the "wrong" order. Try wiggling it, or start over.
Generally the 3D view should be more accurate, however surprises in details are common, and that specifically means sometimes cars arrives with details that the sales rep is surprised about.

The person who coded up the configurator for the 991.2 as it is right now obviously got confused about PDLS, PDLS+, the colors, the codes thereof... somewhere. It is really hard to decode what's going on. The ability to paint the washer caps makes it more confusing in this case.
I don't see an option for PDLS in black on the US configurator, the only option I see to get black headlights, is if you get LEDS in black

Partially correct. There IS an option for PDLS in black. It is the only option in PDLS for $780. PDLS in "silver" is a standard option. That is why when you click the LED option for $2,290, the surround looks the same as no option clicked.

What is your biggest regret? Not doing something in life to be in a position to buy a GT!
I don't buy that for a minute. The head of Porsche GT Division can't afford a GT3? Riiiiiiiiiight ~ He must have some other serious hobbies, like yacht racing or collecting RM watches.

Ya, the head of AMG dirves around in a KIA & the CEO of BMW Motorsport Division has been spotted around town in a Dacia Sandero.

I hear you. I read that and said "no way!" I like his comment about Pikes Peak. The man knows his roads!
