Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

Suggestion
In UK, litronic lights legally have to include self adjusting sensors.
Leading evidence: 'Adjust sensors' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust sensors' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Hi, I've just bought a 99 model c2 and it has'nt got litronic lights and having been used to xenons this is a pain. How easy is it to convert to litronics? The reason I bought my 996 is because I got sick of waiting for my M3 to come (I'm in U.K) and realised I could afford a 996 and knowing the quality of Porsche (My mother has a 2.7 tip'Boxster) I decided to go for it and bought a 99 model c2 yesterday and Im well happy with it but the lights are very weak compared to what I'm used to.
Thanks Russell
I bought my 1999 c2 tiptronic just yesterday. Mine doesn't have the litronics either, but for a young guy aged 52 like me this is no problem. May you should visit your eyes doctor??????
Have fun with your new car

It's not very hard... about 1 hour because you have to add a control unit. Here is a link to a site that outlines the install (on a Boxster... but they are the same). I used this and it was easy.

Great purchase there and welcome to the family : )!!! Not only litronics are much brighter and more direct but esthetically looks way cool as well during the day!!! Loren is the guru of install : ). We be lost without his wisdom : ). Regards and congrats once again!!! Regards. Mike
Not a dumb question.
With 993 upgrade to litronic lights in UK, it is very difficult and very expensive. Theres quite a number of conversion issues.
I dont know the situation with 996s but investigate thoroughly before purchase.
My 99c2 was not fitted with litonics either, so I decided to get them installed a couple of months ago. The litronics provide a much crisper, cleaner light beam howvere, there are some sacrafices. I believe that when you order a Porsche with litronics from the factory they install additional sensors to determine the pitch of the vehicle which then in turn adjusts the litronics so that they are level. Retrofit kits do not include these sensors. The litronics are extremely bright and this causes a lot of light reflection in heavy rain and snow situations. My X5 also has litonics which were factory installed and these issues are non existent due to the self leveling feature. -Mike <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
I upgraded the lights on my '99C4 to litronics last year - it is a significant improvement. I had my local dealer do the installation for me - I think it cost around $1200 (parts and labor).
