Litronic (Xenon) beam effectiveness...

I do not have Litronics, so I cannot comment on that. But it is worth noting if you 986 did not come from the factory with Litronics they will not self level (unless you wired in the harness), which could account for the difference you are noticing. Also, I think some newer headlights on luxury cars move left/right based on your steering.

Thanks, mine don't self level as I got mine shortly after I bought my car from a friend who had the same car as me and let me swap out my halogens for his Litronics prior to him trading in for another. I never bothered to install the electronics, and instead just aimed the beams as required. Does self level also raise the beam higher whenever the car dips on hilly roads?
