First fully functional Litronic install





I'll see if the owner minds if I post some pictures of them on his car

Not just "cool", but extremely cool. When you say fully functional do you mean:

1. The low beams rotate up when you turn on the high beams like the retrofit kit
2. The low beams self-level to compensate for the up and down motions of the car like the factory-option system
3. A combination of 1 and 2
4. Something else

I just managed to track down a wiring harness and controller to complete the installation of my litronics. I paid about $175 and all I'm going to get is the headlight rotation in the retrofit. I'm going to be upset with myself if you figured out how to mimic the OEM operation.

Anyway, good job. By the way, have you figured out a way to mimic the polished reflector at the bottom of the OEM litronic? (I'm not sure how well it shows up in these photos.) I assume it plays some role in directing or focusing the light.
