Xenon Vs LED

Happy I went for LED's. Last option I picked as £400 was not too painful but we all have to stop somewhere. They look really good and lots of benefits as per Lukes info above.

Oh aye, totally get that! but as we've said before. you could say that with so many things on a porsche and end up with a £5k more expensive car with all the "ah its only...." bits on there!

But as you say, 1 or 2 bits of add ones are good! We opted for connect+ and carmine paint over bose and LED lights!

Out of interest Wizard, a rude question I know but how much was your LED conversion kit? Should my Xenons ever fail I can see myself taking the leap!

Had xenons on my sd and led on turbo. Xenons on sd best xenons Iever had and would be quite happy with them again. I did not find the led lights any better at all but they do look more modern. I prefer the xenon light to led personally. So in summary do not fret either way but the modern look is led if you can afford it just do not go halogen ðŸ˜„

Interesting read as I have never driven an LED lit car but have had Xenons on all my cars since 2005.

However I'm a bit puzzled by Luke's statement below as LED's do fail and it would probably mean a replacement unit at mega expense I would imagine.

Had Xenon PDSL plus on the SD and now have LED PDSL plus on the GTS. I prefer the LED's by far.

You will notice that the only owners who suggest paying more for LED lights are the ones who already have and are in "self justification mode". PTV+ and SC and a few other options fall in the sane bucket
Seriously, just get the xenon's, their output is amazing and you will never ever think I wish I had brighter headlights.
Get the nice luxury leather or maybe a nice sunroof or Active cruise instead.
If LED headlights are better than xenon (which is debatable), it is like going from a 9.8 out of 10 to 9.81. Spend your money on a difference you will notice.
