My lits have an inner clear cover

Appears my Lits have a second clear cover over the HID bulb. I wonder if it would interfere with the retrofit?

The covers would need to go.

Coaster, Jaykay

I see both of you wants to retrofit Litronics. My advice on that subject is this. Many values the litronic as they are, factory, Porsche brand, DOT approved, whatever reasons. They are not bad lighting at all. If your plans are to go for full bi-xenon + CGT style front-end, the best would be to sell your Litronic to a member here and buy a NEW set of halogen to retrofit. You'll break even $-wise I'm sure, and someone will be pleased to have your Litronic I guarantee. Everybody's happy

If it would be me, that's what I would do anyway. Besides, no serious R&D nor design have been carried on Litronic headlights as yet :/

Sounds like a plan! Having never even removed my lights, would I be able to interchange them at will? I want to be able to plug my Lits back in with all the original functionality....and also power up the projectors with high, low fog capability.

We would really be able to test the difference!!
