Is $1600 a good deal for the litronic headlight kit for an 01 on turbo? Do it make a huge difference in the look?

 

used?
kit? are they the whole headlights?

$1000-1300 for lits complete - preowned in perfect condition

 

No Ed, no...don't do it!

 

A bit steep in the price if they are used. I've seen used sets in good shape for under $1K. I think it makes a huge difference in the lighting at night!

 

+1 for much better than Halogens

I had headlight issues for awhile and bought 3 complete sets - I almost pulled the trigger on some lits for $1000 and the rememebered I dont have an MKII

 

I've always thought the halogens in the car were pretty top notch.

 

Oh Ed, fu*ck me! I was reading this post and took a drink of Coke (the liquid kind!) and read the last sentence. I was barely able to swallow the Coke before I started laughing out loud! Too funny!

 

What do you mean: "by for an 01 on turbo" ?
Are they for an 01 Turbo? if you car is a Mk1 they will not fit without changing the front fender.

 

I bought a used set for my 986 (same lights as the Mk 1 996) for less than $1k.

That price sounds a little steep if they are used.

 

there never out there... were did u guys find them... $1k is a decent fair price for 5-7 year old hardware I guess..

 

Pete,

They are out there all the time on e-bay (but they don't last for long). You just need to be patient and wait for the last second bid.

 

I have on 01 996 With Lintronics. Turning it into a club racer and don't need them would trade for regular and Some $.

 

are they for a turbo or non turbo? Mine are non Turbo


Also, I think I am confused. I have HID, it's that bluish color, and when I turn on my lights they adjust, does that mean I have the litronics? Are there only litronics and halogens? I was under the impression that litronics was an upgrade to the existing HID system??

 

Litronics, is just the Porsche term for HID headlights. It sounds like you've already got 'em.

 

Sounds like you have em to me as well, check the option codes
