Slate993tt

Dear Forum Members,

I am a newbie to the 993tt world(but not to Porsches)and have been lurking on the board for a few weeks brushing up on my 993 knowledge.

I recently purchased a 993tt and one of the factory Litronic lights won't ignite and I switched the Bosch ignitor from side to side and the problem followed.

So the million dollar question is how can i procure jus tthat Bosch part? I called LAPD and they won't sell jus tthat part nor do they have it or can get it.

A)Does anyone have a 96 litronic headlight assy(that works) tha ttey are willing to sell? It doesn't matter to me if it is a left or a right one as I'mjust going ot take out the funcitoning Ignitor.

B)Any ideas how to source th spart as I am not excited about spending 1K on a new headlight assy(Sunset prices).


Thanks,
Chad

Just went through that. Since the ignitor is part of the headlight assembly, it is not sold seperately as a Porsche part. I did get a used one from LAPD for $300 and it works fine. Maybe I got their last one? I work close by to LAPD so it was simple to just go over and pick one up.

Someone is selling an entire Litronics system on the 993 forum for $750 right now. If you do a search on the 993 forum you might find someone selling just the ignitor. Good luck.

Thanks Scott. I'm located in Camarillo so not far from you. I spoke to Todd at LAPD and he basically told me I'd have to buy the whole assy so I think you got lucky and they had just one of those ignitors laying around.

I'll do a search for the system for sale. This is one of those situations where there is no easy solutions.

Is the "ignitor" the same as a litronic "control unit". I noticed Type911 in the UK are selling the latter for £100 +VAT and shipping.

Good question Stewart. I'll look into it.
