The bi xenon on my 991 are amazing. We live in the country and there are no street lamps. Bright even illumination.

Bright lights are suppose to allow you to see the road ahead at high speed. At 120mph you are traveling at 176 ft /sec. 180 mph=264ft/sec. (also assuming straight road). Bi-xenons can allow you to see 180 meters ahead. Do we need better lighting?

Don't forget we have to stop which include a reaction time (.5-.9 sec) and braking which is at least 100 feet at 60 mph (200+ at 120 mph?) and us older guys that don't see as well at night as the younger guys.

I think this is one of those items where it needs to be seen in person. I still think the Xenons look cool, so what do I know? By the way HotHonda, your 991s looks killer.

Did you get 602 Full LED confirmed for your order? What is your production month and delivery week?

Did your production/delivery dates change after you added LEDs?

Delivery Date after adding LEDs
No change from date. We had been hoping for a June build however options drive the build as much as slot availability per PCNA

I still have "june build" after I added LEDs. Just got a confirmation-pdf with the same text - "estimated delivery week 32 - changes may apply" Without the detailed tracking like yours, how did you get that?

I looked around youtube and can't find anything on it. Want to see if the 3k is worth it....
