Oh yeah! What a difference!

I was considering the LItronics but then I saw how much work & drilling was needed to add Litronics. A shop quoted me at $300 to install them.

They're plug and play if you don't care about the swivel up feature when you put on the high beams. The low beam xenons work fine just popping in the headlight without doing anything else.

With the wiring installed, the litronics swivel up when you put on the high beams to help the high beam lights illuminate even more on the road, but I found that without the swivel up, there's still plenty of light, so I didn't bother. The other function the wiring provides (level sensing) doesn't work unless factory installed because there are sensors that go to the wheel axle to determine initial leveling.

You can still sell your halogens on fleabay for up to $600 and get Litronics for $900 (one set just sold for $910 IIRC).

$300 hundred???
They slide in just like the Halogens, 5 minutes installation.
You have to manually adjust the height of the light into a fixed
position with a metric hex wrench or something. That's it..
The $300 couldn't have been for autoleveling because that can
only be done at the factory, its not possible as a hack.
I think the added harness for the Litronics (which I didn't install)
is so that when you switch on the high beams you keep both your
low and high beams on at the same time. That's not worth $300

Nope- the wiring harness is used to swivel up the litronics 5 degrees to help the highbeams illuminate even more. Without the harness installed, you still get low beam litronics and high beam halogens that light up at the same time, just not the low beam swivel up in conjunction with high beam. I found I didn't need this feature, so I didn't install the harness.
