They look to be the other black M Sport seat with blue contrast stitching option. The giveaway is the M Highlight missing from the other black M Sport seat option,

What if you pass on the shadowline lights but get the updated lighting option? Same amber light features just no black piping?

Correct.
What's the attraction to the shadow line option? I think the non-shadow line looks fine.

I plan to order without shadowline. I didn't know what the differences visibly looked like with the upgraded headlights.

I assume the tailpipes also become dark like the one I saw but silver tailpipes are nice for me. Especially since I don't like black wheels.

This is the main reason why I’m passing on the Shadowline option, don’t like black exhaust tips.

Non-black tailpipes for me. I would live with them if I could get the shadowline headlights by themselves.

To remove the chrome strip at the top as well as the gold/bronze strip at the bottom.

Shadowline also adds the gloss black exhaust times.

Top, shadow line headlight with lighting package. Bottom, lighting package headlight.

You lose the full DRL strip if you go with the base headlight.

Base headlight AW car.

Shadowline headlight TR car.

*The Lighting Package headlight has the same DRL, but with the gold/bronze strip at the bottom and the chrome strip at the top.

Not sure if the DRL strip is as visible/noticeable with the AW exterior.

It will be when lit. The headlight main LEDs are improved and auto highbeam are also part of the Lighting Package. Clearly the improved DRL are part of that as well.

Has anyone been able to confirm that the non shadowline DRLs are no different in color temperature from that of the shadowline DRLs?

It was brought up and discussed at length in another thread but no conclusions were made.

Hmm I thought it was only adding the high beam assist and swiveling headlights. If the headlight LEDs are improved too, that pretty much makes the Lightning package a must have for me.

How much extra weight is added for swiveling headlights and sensors for auto beams?

I imagine it adds some electric motors and wiring and such...probably not more than a couple pounds per corner but for weight weenies...

Thanks for the info guys you just saved me another $900 on my build haha.

Any word on weather the M Driver Package deletes the moonroof?
