So just a straight plug and play with no fiddling to adjust the lights?

I think they had to do some aiming adjustments.

That is such a great paint color on your car!

How are the lenses on those replacement lites? Are you going to film them?

Was looking at these too. Would love confirmation that the output makes significant difference in usability

Thanks, YB is one if my favorite colors. When BayOptics installed them they added PPF Film to it.

They're brighter according to light meters. As for real world driving experience? I rarely ever drive at night, but assume they're brighter.

Nicely done on the lights!

I prefer a classic appearance of lights on regular 718 cars and even on the Spyder and GT4, but I definitely feel that both the SRS and GT4RS look much better with the aggression of those LEDs which matches the rest of those cars, plus has functional benefits, of course.

Default CXX?

Hands down my favorite color on any GT4RS. It surprisingly compliments the carbon very well and doesn't draw your eye to the carbon hood, like in other brighter colors.

I'm curious, if you had the CXX option available with the painted hood stripe, would you have gone for it?

I got an allocation for a Sept build of a 2025 GT4RS, and I have decided on this color. However I'm a little torn on whether I should do the CXX to emphasize the paint color more, or keep it raw carbon. Also cant decide on wheel color or brake calipers. The dark silver looks great, but I do wonder what the Satin Neodyme might look like with this color. Cant find any examples of it anywhere.

YB is one of my favorite colors also. If the hood stripe was an option when I ordered the car I would have picked it.

I really didn't care for the base headlites either. This is what happens when you hang around Rennlist!


I have the dark silver wheels and black calipers - I like them.
