LED headlight retro fit?

Saw the led headlights on a gt3 at local dealer yesterday and really liked them. Anyone look into if a retro fit is possible?

Suncoast will probably chime in, but the retrofit may not be straightforward as the DRL function moves from the bumper LED's to the headlights. Possibly different wiring/software programming ?

So the LED headlights lose the DRL's in the bumpers? I thought it would be like the Turbo where you have the bumper DRL's and the ring in the headlights?

When the LED's are on at night, the bumper "DRL's" are on. When it's bright, the four spots in the LED are the only DRL's, and the bumper one is off. I think it would be overkill if both were on during the day. Looks nice.

Thanks for clarifying! Turbo bumper LEDs are in fact different (and look great). Most daytime pics on the internet show in fact only the 4 LEDs on for the GT3 and 4 LEDs + bumper DRLs for the Turbo.
Did not notice that before

With mine, when you turn the car off, the 4LED's and the bumper LEDs are on. I'd be curious if turbo owners confirm the pictures. I wonder if the Euro configuration for the lights is different as most pics are usually Euro spec.
