I'm not much help on that subject but heard/read a few times that you need to source a litronic retrofit kit if your car didn't come with factory litronics. Wouldn't be surprised these kits are rare or need ordering. Kits includes a harness for both headlight and a control module (bosch mgf). There are also sensors that are mounted onto the suspension giving you the full features of the factory installed litronic. Not sure if the sensors are mandatory... think not but not 100% sure.

Again I could be wrong but the harness and control module kit only provides some leveling features, at some extent e.g the high beams won't be as effective as if you'd be doing the complete factory-style set-up e.g. sensors installation, control module and harness setup (lots of work, and costly).

Surely some others who've done a proper litronic conversion will chime in and help you out with this
