When I deambered my '02, I didn't bother with the litronics and bought 996 headlights instead, for around $500 (in like new condition). Sold my ambers for $300, so the upgrade was cheap. I don't drive my Box at night that often and couldn't justify the expense.

The amber came out quite easily with the solder iron technique and I appreciate the clear look with black compared to my friend's black '02 with amber.
