Post 993 Headlights... BAD! what to do?

Having had 996/986 Litronics for 3 years and "downgrading" to a 993tt I am very disapointed in the headligts and these are the Litronics. Any suggestion to improve?

John,

You felt like you downgraded? I hope you are joking.

You might want to check the aiming of your headlights. I have the Litronics and find them no worse than the Xenon's on my other cars. One of them is a '01 5er which you know has a great headlight system.

These are litronics, on a 993 turbo (standard)
The car has been lowered and that may be the problem. Also the right one takes 3-5 "on switched" to finally ignite. This will be covered under warranty.. I do need to do the cleaning per th DIY section on pcar.com

I have a 1999 528i and 2001 X5 with Xenons for comparison..
