I did a search on the forum on this inquiry and didnt find much. What is the current best deal (supplier and price) for the Litronic retro kit for an 02 S?

I have heard others on another board give good marks to the following site on quality and price, going for about $179.00 now.

Travis-

I am not looking to put molded HID bulbs into the factory non-HID housings. I am referring to the factory Litronic retro kit which contains two Litronic full assemblies (without auto leveling) and the Litronic control unit and all wiring. I wish this was available for $200

Last I knew, Brandywine Porsche was doing them for about $1200 but as I understand it that was when demand was high for the kits and they were ordering them in bulk. That not being the case anymore, the best I have been quoted is a bit over $1500 now. $1200 sounded a lot better!

Yeah about the best I have seen was $1250.00 plus shipping (est $150.00 to the States)

edit:

Just looked at the site, they are having a sale that ends on the 25th $1300.00 for the pair and includes the clear corners.

Does anyone know where I can get the factory non-amber headlights for a really good price?

Im looking for the non-litronic type.

Travis,

I don't think anyone in the US would want, nor should get, any type of headlight assemblies from the UK. Right hand drive vehicles' headlights are not the same as left hand drive.

Other than that, I don't have any input... I was lucky to find a 2001 that has the Litronics. (seems like they were added APOS... they don't do the auto levelling dance)

Upon ordering, you have the choice for LHD or RHD on the website.

I heard that litronics are no longer being imported by PCA Atlanta in great quantities like they were a year ago and their internal low-price selling to dealers and resellers is limited now... hence the $1700 price tag found most places.

Thanks for the link. I'm afraid that after shipping to the US that deal might not be that great. I'm also not sure if that includes the Litronic Control Module and added wiring.

i found one set of clear halogen headlight @ e-bay ($350 plus $50 for shipping) and it took me almost 2 months to find the perfect price for me....I guess, just keep on looking patiently...remember: Patience is a virtue (from ninja turtle the movie...hehehehe)
