You guys are rubbing off on me. This started as a whim when I bought some damaged headlights, but it has turned out to be quite a nice upgrade to the car. I guess if I thought about it before I started I would have gone with the aftermarket system, but I'm too far down the road now.

I managed to find a controller on Ebay last night, (Control unit: Part number 00004490038)

So now all I need is 2 small plugs 2 (99965256822) and the wiring harness (99661298800).

It looks like the parts might be manufactured by Bosch, so I'll check Markus' suggestion and see it I can find the parts cross referenced from another manufacturer.

If anyone is interested, I'm selling my spare litronic parts to finance this "obsession."

Cuz we're jealous, and being jealous is perfectly legal last time I've checked LOL

I'll have a look with the pros locally if we can find your controller

I find it hard to believe that any reputable seller would offer xenon "upgrades" to be installed in halogen lights, without projectors. All you get is a mess of light that will blind oncoming drivers and sooner or later, a policeman.

You all have been a big help and I've enjoyed the having the opportunity to collaborate on this project. It's almost as much fun as having a Porsche buddy next door working with me.

If anyone can help, I have part 1 in this picture on its way. I just need the items labeled 2, 3 and 4.


Once I have those parts I won't bug anyone again about litronics.

This is not the Bosch parts number, this is the Porsche parts number. In general the Bosch parts number is below the Porsche sticker.

Do the parts you use belong to a 996, or a 986? And what model year? There are some slight differences.

Regards
Markus
