Litronics/Xenons for a 993

[silver993tt]

Anybody know if I can use OEM Litronics from the US on my UK car? How does the alignment work? Are the US specifications the same as the UK/European units?

I have a US-spec owner's manual; understandably it mentions nothing about the lever inside the lamps that are used to flatten the beam as that's not something that US spec cars are likely to ever need.

US and RoW headlamps do have different part numbers but it's hard to tell what actually different. The US lenses will probably be DOT marked where the ROW lenses will be E marked. That could be the biggest difference!

I have heard that Litronic and non-Litronic headlamps are the same except for the bulbs and associated wiring but have never had it confirmed. If that were teh case you could transfer the guts from LHD Litronics to RHD standard lamps

This is a procedure I found for retro fitting Litronics.

After reading it I've decided it's a bit too much for me to do!
