Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have an offer in on a pair of used litronics. I have done some research, but I'm a bit unsure of how to proceed. Here are my questions: 1. If I install them without the control module and wiring harness that comes with the retrofit kit, will they work? It seems that based on my research, the low beams won't swivel up to assist the high beams. 2. If one of the projectors is loose, can it be repaired? I haven't found anyone who says they can, but it appears you can take them apart with a little heat, so if the price is right I'm wondering if it is worth a try. Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions.

POST 2Original post

They will work without any modification, you can just straight swap them like a regular headlight. The wiring harness will only cause the low beam to swivel up into the high beam, but is not required for the high beams to function. You cannot add the self leveling feature, that was only available if it was ordered with Litronics from the factory. Not sure about the second question.

POST 3Original post

For the second question, when I was changing a bulb I popped something inside the light and related to the projector forward. I was able to use a hook tool and gently pull it back until it popped into place. Possibly that is what happened with the lights in question.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the responses. I am likely to have more questions after I receive the lights.
