Considering Litronic Headlight Upgrade

[Jeph]

Brandywine Porsche in PA aways seems to have Litronics for sale on eBay (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZbrandywineporsche). Expect to pay around $1200 shipped. Don't pay more than that for Litronics.

To have them installed, the dealers around here quote me about $500-600. You can install them yourself in 5 minutes if you don't need the leveling stuff. And it is to my understanding that the retrofit kit doesn't technically level the lights... it just repositions the beam when your brights are on.

You should check with Sunset Imports in Oregon as well. I have no idea how low their price will be compared to Brandywine, but hey, they might be cheaper. It's worth a phone call...

Porsches with the Litronic option are self-leveling, but if you buy aftermarket they are fixed from what I hear.

Thanks to all. I will check out these sources. I am in the process of gathering cash. Litronic is high on the list of my projects. I will post the results.

i copped my litronics for 600.00 a while back back then there was a theft problem going on because so easy to take so i recommend when mounting these you also put some sort of strap on the inside to lock them in.of course that wont prevent them from triing to take them but they will be un successful. i beleive i used a 5mm socket insted of the tool that comes with the car.very simple install just open hood take out plugs on left and right side behind carpet put in ssocket tool and turn counterclock i beleive this unlocks your lights pull them out then just slide replacements in they will plug right up into your factory socket. you will only need to get the wire kit if you want auto level for high beam ibeleive i didnt even use that but the lights are cool blue very nice.

Mr.B,
I've done allot of mods since I bought my BoxsterS and the Litronics are by far the most disappointing. If were to do it again I'd put the cash towards wheels or skirting or stereo before going with Litronics. They're a nice finishing touch but won't transform your car like GT3 seats or 5 spoke Carreras.

[Mr. Boone]

Thanks to all. My new used 2002 Boxster S came equipped with Techart Formula wheels ( I probably never would have dropped the $3600.00 or so the former owner paid for them, but since they were on there, I want not for a wheel upgrade). I'm 47 years old and my eyes are a bit toasted from staring at electrical blueprints and a computer screen for a living for the last 28 years, so at night, I really appreciate the extra safety provided by Xenons. The road just lights right up and I think its cool.... I am still trying to figure out how to do it without unloading too much cash…
