Great vid. My car originally came with the halogens but a previous owner swapped in Litronics. That means the self leveling feature is not present (I checked on the tuning forks). This video gives me hope that I will be able to adjust them...in addition to working intermittently, having rusty ballasts, and having shot seals, they don’t illuminate the road very well.

+boffam00 my original halogens were terrible at lighting the road. My new bi-xenon make a world of difference. I’m wondering how much of the poor halogen performance might have been them being aimed too low.

Did the retrofitlabs litronic update, (2001 996 coupe 6mt) and because I don't have to, and don't like to, I've never driven at night so not even sure how they are aimed. Picking my son and his friend up at movies just before midnight, so today is the day. And it will be the first time anyone sat in back seat, glad its not me heh. Really enjoy your videos

@@HelpMeDIY as promised I went for a drive and the headlights are perfect the cut off line at the top and the 45 degree angle for aiming is very obvious that the headlights are not too high or too low they're just right and very bright and my high beams are powered so they automatically elevate when I turn them on turn them on. I think they're the best headlights I've driven with since or at least maybe even better as my 06 cayenne. I chose I think what was the default replacement bulb when I ordered from retrofit labs I didn't order anything special turns out I didn't need to.

Fannntastic video! Smoothh as silk. Gonna dial in mine now but damn does that retrofitlab kit look amazing. Not to mention your beadlights gleaming like new!My factory xenon reflectors are probably near kaput, just put Osrams in there to see if its just the bulbs. 🤞

Thanks for sharing. It seems things changed for the 2000 year. The depth adjustment is not there, and the zero gauge is used for left right alignment.

What about the left and right recommended adjustment Sir

+UNCLE SAM I didn’t really come across much information about that actually. Not sure if there is some thing official on it, but maybe somebody else can chime in
@damage98

That depends on what side of the road you drive on. In USA lower the left beam just enough to be courteous, and aim straight. Right beam should aim a tiny bit out towards shoulder. Or so I was taught. Most vehicles in USA are so much taller than a 996, probably won't be blinding in anyone's mirrors. The big pu trucks don't even notice you. Loud pipes save lives.

+Daniel Kelemen thanks! There is a link to A service manual in the description, but this one is much bigger and more detailed. I actually printed it from PDF files but it’s expensive to print the whole thing!

ohh, i see. I have the Bentleys manual and the bigger version ( almost 3000 pages ) service manual too, the problem with the big one is that is poorly scanned, so i tought maybe i can buy it already printed or a good scanned version.
