I doubt that without the excellent LED lights I would have noticed it in time (I have driven the xenons, and their reach is less far). As a safety feature, every car I will own will have them. Same goes for ptv+, it will save you when you overdid it a bit (or unexpected slippery bend like I had in fall weather).

LED lights was the first option ticked and wouldn’t have a car without them now. PTV+ is standard on the Carrera GTS

I must stop visiting the configurator. I must stop visiting the configurator.

Never driven any car with LED lights but I thought the Macans xenons were very good at night.

The C2 I have booked out on Wednesday overnight does not have LED lights or the PDLS option.

I honestly think that Porsche Bi-Xenons will still be better than most lights sold on cars today. Had the LEDs not been standard on my Panamera, I don't think that I would have stumped up £1,700 extra for them...

There is a video on a YouTube somewhere where that American car reviewer compares lights on 911s - Bi-Xenons versus LEDs. Might be worth a revisit...

Just watched the video again. Nick Murray. Definitely worth a watch! Huge difference between halogens (basic lights on base Macans) and the Bi-Xenons. Less of a difference between Bi-Xenons and LEDs. And (in the US at least) the LEDs were slightly less bright than the Bi-Xenons on full beam.

Had bi-Xenons on the Cayman and LEDs on the Macan and they are night and day different.

A recent Cayman with the most up to date Bi-Xenons? If it was me, I'd check out Nick Murray's video comparison (if you haven't already) before forking out the £1,700.

I’ll check it out when I’m near a computer. Don’t know if the bi-Xenons have PDLS plus either which is a massive benefit around our country lanes

Standard Bi-Xenons on the 991.2 GTS do have PDLS with dynamic cornering lights.

Might have guessed you’d know the answer [emoji106]
