You're kidding right? I can't believe that these are litronic's, or at least not for what I paid for them. I'm surprised I didn't notice earlier, but I have never seen litronics up close. Don't litronic's normally sell for a lot? Is their a big difference between these and the regular headlights?
Thanks!

New litronics now sell for $2300, so it sounds like you got a great deal. Congrats!

I can't believe they go for this much now!: http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=P&Product_Code=00004490041&Category_Code=986lights

You will love those headlamps. I left my orange bits in because I can't stand the thought of melting them out with a soldering iron and messing up the lamps from inside. If you put them on you'll hardly notice it and soon won't care.

Do get the control box installed properly so the lamps function fully though (rotating upward when you hit your high beams). That is a very cool feature you should not live without. As a Porsche owner, you deserve it all.

I just contacted Fred, and he is going to get me the wiring harness and control plug/box so I can hook them up properly. I look forward to installing them.

The amberectomy, as they call it, is simple. I did it on both sets of litronics that I have owned with great result.. no prior experience in melting out parts of headlights either!

Trust me, you will be glad you did it, it helps the look a lot.
