Oops, turns out the control box isnt for leveling, the Litronics have that built in, the control box is for use of High beams only, nothing else.

^correct, auto leveling is done at the Factory only. I didn't bother with the box when I upgraded to Lits because at the time I planned on putting back the clear halogens and selling the litronics seperately. But now I doubt I'll ever sell the Boxster! No matter what I get for the car I doubt I'll get something better for the same money. Not worth the sale.
p.s.
Too bad I sold the clear halogens for $550 a year ago. should have held onto those.

The Self Leveling is built into the headlights themselves isnt it??? if so, how can you tell if you got it?

no I don't think they are built into the headlights. I believe its some voodoo wiring that only German speaking guys named Heinz know how to do. In other words, the special wiring is in the car not the lights.

Btw, anyone else who is upgrading, you can adjust the height of the beam if they are not even by using one of those ball end hex wrenches, there's a hole for it on the side of the light. I adjusted my set while it was parked about 15 feet away of the garage door.

You are probably right about the sensors not being built into the headlight - and I say probably because I only have second-hand info. I had asked a local p-car shop (who are also used p-car dealers) about installing the litronics, and I was told that my choices were:
1) replacing the H7 bulb with a xenon-like bulb
2) replacing the entire assembly with a litronics kit
3) same as 2, but with the 4 (iirc) leveling sensors that go in various places in the car

They said they'd never done option #3.

This is why I was very curious about the install of the (what we thought at the time) auto-leveling unit. Thanks CJ and others for trying!
