There has been people mentioning manually leveling them this week but I have never seen any other mention of anyone trying or being able to level them. They level electronically, there is no manual way to do it unless you hook up something to move the leveling motors.

Putting in litronics is really a waste of money in a car that isn't equipped with them unless you get them for less then the standard lights.

If I could source them for cheaper than the standard lights (used litronics obviously vs brand new standard) then wouldn’t it be worth it?

There MUST be a way to initially adjust them manually (I bet it is exactly same process as halogen headlights), but then the selfleveling will not work, which is not a problem.

Once set - you should be good.
