Driving with high beams on at night ....

The Litronics come with the projector lens. The headlight's beam path is adjustable but only for low beam and fog. The owner manual has instructions on page 229; full tank, stock tire PSI, 165lb driver, and about 25 feet away from wall.

If you do decide to upgrade to LED bulbs you should have it professionally calibrated for a street driving car. Different state has different leniency. Otherwise spend the money for Litronics and help your eyes.

The headlights are are brand new, maybe 4 months old, I found where to adjust them, thank you. I`m going to adjust them later on when it gets dark out.
I looked into getting litronics, but all the ones I found come with the clear bottom turn signals, I like the yellow at the bottom of my headlights, somehow it blends in nicely with the color of my car.

You won't find the Litronics with the amber markers. If I remember correctly it did exist for the 996 and it was rare. Correct me if I'm wrong. If you do go Litronics, what you can do is buy a small roll of orange tint film and tint the turn signal amber. Keep the amber corner reflectors. Now you have amber markers on your factory Litronic headlight the way you like, brighter headlights, and no need to get it professionally calibrated. Just make sure the set you buy is not the UK version.
(RHD).

New cars have automatic high beam and will turn on and off when a vehicle is detected in front of you. It works very well to my surprise but is an overkill with LED these days for city life and most well lit interstates. For the rest, its a great feature to have in dark areas.
