Are 986 Litronics plug-in-play?

Bought mine 7 years ago for $1250 for the pair. Sadly, they're a lot more now.

If you can buy the wiring box that rotates them upward for high beams you should do it. Excellent for dark mountain road driving.

I think grimesb may actually have a set to sell:

I just finished a "budget" litronic upgrade http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/54697-advice-used-litronics.html without the wiring harness and control unit. They work fine, but I'd prefer to have the high-beam rotation function if the extra parts aren't too expensive. If anyone is selling just the harness and control unit, please send me a PM.

I think the nicest upgrade I've done is replacing my plastic rear window/no headliner top with an 04 top and frame. But, the litronics are very nice especially around this time of year when I'm driving home after dark. I'd love to see the high beam rotation in action. I guess I'll have to wait until I can buy the parts off the right "part out".

By the way according to this video, (at around the 17 minute 40 second point) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELiDIIbmH4k&feature=youtu.be the word "litronic" is pronounced "Lie tronic". I had been saying it with a short "i" sound like in lithium. Also "Tequipment" is pronounced "Tay quipment." I guess that is what happens when you buy everything second hand. There is no salesperson to correct your pronunciation. Oh well, at least I pronounce Porsche with two syllables.
