Is upgrade to Exclusive Matrix LED headlights in black with PDLS worth it?

[Daz&Jac]

Hi All

Just wondered if the upgrade to the Exclusive Matrix LED headlights in black with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus is worth it over the LED Matrix main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus)
Cheers

It is a purely aesthetic option. No change in functionality. So only if you like the look. Not worth it for me

The 'black' option is not worth it. All headlight offerings are black housings to some degree. The difference is negligible. It does show more on other Porsche models. (standard vs. black)

I have the black version, purely aesthetic so a personal choice, I like it, a more aggressive look.

Don't waste your cash. The light housings are already dark.

Anyone have pictures comparing to 2?

One is black and the other is dark silver or thereabouts. Both are dark.

I have the black led in my 992 911 Turbo S. It’s a big difference that is obvious especially with the white exterior.. Not in my Taycan as the housing is much different. See photos below. I’m skipping it in my 2022 build too

I’ll be honest - I optioned it but have a hard time telling it’s there. I was going to take a photo for this thread but realized it’s barely noticeable.

Yes I guss you can’t really tell then even on a light coloured bodywork!!

PDLS+ might be a good choice to future proof. I believe the new infrastructure bill has provisions to allow matrix LEDs now. So Porsche (like other manufactures who do this), can activate the matrix part via a future software update, once everything is passed.

So PDLS+ is not worthless (if you want matrix LED), but certainly the colored options are personal choices.

Is it just me or has the glacier blue option been removed from the configurator?
