Default Retrofitting Dynamic Cornering Lights, DCL

Anyone tried or know if it's possible to put DCL to a car that didn't come with such option? I'm guessing cars that doesn't have those lights already have pre-wirings for the sensors etc?

EDIT: I'm talking about .2 RSes (not that it matters much but .2 GT3s should be same).

you would hope that to be the case... do you know anyone nearby with such lights? if you pop one out you can see what the nature of the "interface" is between the headlight and car ... I'd hope that the DCL's would be self contained units (motors etc) and that the car would simply provide steering angle information via a common connector to the car ... (potentially enabled from PIWIS)

PET might give some indication, unfortunately my copy is not sufficiently up to date to be of use.

Looks like you'll have to buy that RS before we can pop one of mine out to try

Sounds expensive for little gain.
