i was wondering if that is what the cut out area next to the light switch was for?

Not on any of the US models.

dr kenneth e garchow

ok, can we put ones in that do?

You would probably have to slip into Germany undetected, make contact with a shady Euro-spec Porsche Parts supplier willing to sell to an American, and figure out a way to sneak the parts back into the US.

Be careful, though, since these shady parts dealers are known to turn their "customers" in to the U.S. D.O.T. for the reward money after they've made the sale.

Kidding aside, I would love to have that capability on my car.

by looking at the parts diagrams of the N. American vs ROW Litronic components, it appears that you would have to get the -right side traffic- european headlights ( that are made for the control device) , the control units, and the dash switch. plus possibly some wiring/relay work.

i think it could be done with not an awful lot of work.....but a lot of money.

question for the european rennlisters:

after looking at the parts list, it appears the lights are adjustable for height AND intensity....is this correct???

Max,

Not too sure about intensity, but I was told a while back that the Euro versions can be switched for LHD and RHD markets. Ths US versions cannot. Important for me as I'm in a RHD market and therefore can't use Litronic's made for the US.

thanks for keeping the information flowing on this one.

any photos of what the control switches look like in the car? does it fit the cut-out next to the light switch?

My Euro 1994 993 has this switch...it is for height adjustment only and has 3 settings. Switch is a wheel type and fits in the cutout with labels of -1, 0, and 1 on it. My car does not have lintronics and adjustment is for whether you have passengers in the front, rear or both.

dr kenneth e garchow

now that is a great way to fill in that cut out!!

thanks, i want a similar set up for litronics

max911

the switch looks like it is quite cheap. about $25 plus $5 or $10 for the plastic shroud. It is the litronic lights with adjustable capabilities that will cost $$$$

993tt

Mine is adjustable for hight (-1, 0, and 1) but not for intesity. I have litronic and it's bought in Germany.

most likely the previous owner has installed the litronics afterwards.
Just saw that your car is a tt that comes with litronic as standard. Very confusing!?...

dr kenneth e garchow

so are litronics available w/the adjustment? it seems there are differing opinions here

ian 993gt2

i think in 1995 xenon lights were only legal in one or two euro countries so only a few 993 turbos had xenon in 1996/7 xenons were made legal in all european countries but must have hight adjustment
