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. This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have been offered some litronics from a 2001 996 for about £400. I believe these are not the Bi-Xenon lights that came on later cars thought I'm no expert. Are they likely to be significantly better than normal 996 lights (with Osram Slver Star bulbs) on dipped beam? Thanks in advance

POST 3Original post

A candle is better than the standard 996 dipped beam... go for it ! P

POST 4Original post

i had these fitted by camtune for about £450-they made a HUGE difference.however,the extra power needed kept causing the battery light to come onwhenever i put the headlights on ...despite taking back to camtune and jzmmaztech at kings langley noone could sort it-and jz(who were really helpful)concluded the extra power needed for the litronics needed more powerful battery. i ended up so frustrated i then sold the car and bought the new cayman!!-with bi-xenons specified at the factory!![ ]

POST 5Original post

I'm sure they'll be tons better - considering similar for mine before the winter. However, won't it be cheaper and quicker to fit an aftermarket gas discharge light system. Have read there are some cheap dodgy systems around on e-bay, but equally good quality systems from aceparts - the chap that runs aceparts chats on pistonheads quite often - think his kit is 175 all in.

POST 6Original post

I have the ACEPARTS kit and it's worked okay

POST 7Original post

I got the 'ultimate kit' from HIDS4u for £250. Fitted very well (according to Wrightune) and work like a charm!
