Has anyone swapped out the U.S. DOT headlams with a set of E-code spec (Euro Spec) Litronics?
It's frequently been debated that the US DOT regulations are in the dark ages (pun intended) when it comes to lighting standards. Has anyone here considered this mod?

Are you referring to the Litronics Retrofit Kit for 99-01 cars? I wasn't aware that there are different spec retrofit kits (DOT and E-code). I've actually read posts from our European brethren that they kept their stock halogen headlamps because the need to swap out the Litronics and install the halogen headlamps in order to pass inspection.

Right. I understand that there are different stock headlights for US versions of European cars (DOT vs. E-code). I just don't understand your question regarding the Litronics. Are there different Litronic Retrofit Kits for US and European markets? Do you have the part numbers for the E-code Litronics Retrofit Kit so that we can compare them with the US part numbers? I know a couple of guys on this forum (a fellow from the UK and another from Germany) who bought the Litronics Retrofit Kit from the US because they couldn't get it in Europe since it is not E-code compliant.
BTW, you didn't mention the year of your 996. As far as I know, the Litronics Retrofit Kit is only available for 99-01 996s. There is no retrofit kit for 02-04 996s although I have heard some people buying the bi-Xenon headlamps and hacking/modding the wiring harness.
