I have factory litronics in my 1997 with the wiring harness and NO SELF LEVELING.

The problem with the self-leveling according to my tech is that the sensor that is wired up to the control arm determining self leveling can break off. Not worth the effort to put it on IMO.

Retrofitting is probably a lot cheaper and the quality of light will be about the same if you don't get crappy components. Porsche's factory litronic projector lamps and housings and bulbs are top notch.

I love my no-amber litronics. They look great and I can see a country mile down the road at night. They're a zillion times brighter than stock halogens.
