If I am not asking for proprietary information, how is your set up sensing the pitch of the car and feeding the information to the motor in the headlight? Would it be possible to add components to my system to accomplish this?

As you may recall, I cobbled together a pair of litronic headlights from 3 damaged ones. I'm about to add the headlight rotation control as described in this TSB: http://www.skylersrants.com/Porsche/Litronics/Instructions/Litronic11-02.pdf
and this article: Installing Litronic Headlights

I'd really like to make the system work like the factory automatic headlight beam adjustment system. It sounds like you may have cracked the code.

I'd appreciate any tips you would be willing to share. I have the the wiring harness (Porsche part number 996-612-988-00) and the headlight control unit (Porsche part number 000-044-900-38) needed for the low beam rotation.

I also have some leftover litronic parts if you want to swap your expertise for some parts. My parts are listed in this ad: http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-parts-sale-wanted/55179-litronic-headlight-parts-drivers-side.html

Yes, Charles and I have many-many-many components. Small, big, gears, shafts, bearing systems, servos, even micro steppers motors. Sensors; all kinds of mate lol from thermal, light intensity sensor, accident prevention systems using IR, down to military FLIR features. What you require exactly? Operations/tasks can be scheduled, automated or real-time vs environment factors interacting with some of the finest micro computing available today (Chips and datasheets from Taiwan, promise lol)

Prototype with triple-laser sensor capability (100m), algorithm set on this triangulation output to provide auto adjusting mechanism to ur lities - special price for you! Please donate your litmoritzic headlights for the research and dev immediately. Charles will follow-up with shipping addy. Thank you
