The pic is definitely more yellowish than the real thing.
Another reference point is the bumper light, which is Porsche's original 997.2 bumper light. The color of the LED on the headlights matches with the bumper light pretty well.

During the .2 conversion, the DRL (the thin light in the middle) on the bumper light had been set up to switch on at engine start. I tapped the LED/ring to that DRL. So both are switched on at engine start.

Here are some pics comparing the lights to the Porsche's marketing materials. I'll try to find a 991 friend with the PDLS and take some side by side photos
(from my iPhone photo!)
(ignore the CF trim, it was for trial)

Your ring led headlight style is good but color is yellowish a little.
I have 997.2 DRL on my turbo. That is white color. I guess your ring led headlight color is not good color fit with 997.2 DRL
Also I saw real 991 4 point led ring headlight. That is so bright 4 point and white.

They are yellowish but still matched good enough for me with the .2DRL under day lights, and at night they are washed by the low lights anyway.
I bought these for the internal design of the lights, and didn't expect / care if the 4xLED ring works in the same way as those on the 991. I'll probably disable the 4xLED ring when I switch to the black version this weekend. The internal design of the light is already a huge improvement.
If you care a lot about how the LED ring match with the 991, these lights might might be for you then.

Unfortunately not. It works for 997.1 only (AFAIK).
