Xenon Litronics

Yes - Based on the information in the links I provided. My car has a 15 amp fuse in it, but mine is a 2000.

Just curious...what did these used lights cost? I hear they can be super expensive.

I opted for a retrofit with xenons to replace the burned lenses, and am using the h7 for high beams, just like the litronics.

However, I am replacing the h7 halogen with h7 LED to update them.

Total investment:

xenons/ballusts/bulbs + shrouds @ $185 CAN
h7 LEDs + LED daytime bulbs @ $70 CAN
Total: $225 CAN

I started a thread, but am waiting on the bulbs to update progress shortly.

A lot easier than I thought...baking the headlights in the oven was a big worry though. lol

I hope you can resolve your issue...wiring sucks.

Got them for $550 each plus the shipping. I watched the videos and did not want to do the retrofit baking thing. I also had amber turn signal which I didn’t want as well.

Hi Kevin.

Problem solved! I changed the fuses to 15A and they worked! Thanks for all your help.

One issue though is that if the car is not on the left driver side headlight will turn off after like 30 seconds. If the car is on they don’t seem to turn off.

Great - I'm surprised that the information about the fuse popped into my mind. I'm glad it saved you the expense of buying new ballasts - especially since that wouldn't have solved the problem.

Regarding the headlight not staying on - I suggest that you check your battery and measure the voltage it is putting out when the car is off. Based on the information you provided about your test with the external power source, its possible that your particular set of litronics need close to 14 volts to power up and remain on. When the car is running the electrical system is generating over 14 volts. When the car is off, the battery is probably putting out around 12.4 volts.

Remember the parts came from a car that was manufactured somewhere between the end of 1998 and the middle of 2004. Your lights could be over 20 years old. I don't fully understand how the ballasts work, but they may require more power as they age.

Good luck and enjoy your new lights.
