HOW TO: Make your Litronic Xenon [ Cut Off Line ] SHARPER !!! PICTURES !!!
This DIY is for 99-01 996 Litronic Xenon headlamps/headlights
Unlock your headlights by using the tool key (female allen wrench) on the side. Use manuals for help.
Unscrew these 2 screws then pull the white box out of the way.
Once the white box is out of the way you can see behind the projectors. There should be (3) star bit screws (T-20 with security hole)
Make sure to mark the (TOP) just so you don't get confused when you put it back together.
Unscrew 4 star bits around the projectors
Clear coat it then bake for 15 mins at 250 degrees then wait the next day to wet sand and buff.
Wet sand all around until everything looks dull.
Use this 3M products
Mothers ball polisher after compound
Compound (by hand) then polish (with mothers ball)
Crystal clear finish.
Factory lens with frosty finish
Factory lens with clear coat and buffed finish
***NOTE*** This particular picture is not a Porsche projector. I'm showing a RX330 lens with FROST/ROUGH finish. That's why the cut off line isn't sharp on some factory lens. Only some comes factory clear such as TSX S2000 300ZX and some other cars.... *** IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY ON THIS LENS IT'S NOT CLEAR AT ALL. ***
ENJOY!

For whom it may concern. It's a mod. I'm sharing it for the people that are interested. Yes the purpose of this DIY it to get the cut off line sharper, it looks a lot more clean. No advantage on increasing the light. Just like decals on the car or aftermarket wheels...

What type of clearcoat are you using and how many layers are you applying?
Does this lend to any issues after awhile of having exposed the clearcoat to all of the heat from the lights being on? Perhaps any yellowing of the clear?

+1 indeed, and a rep for the OP... I've always been a fan of the sharp cutoff HID, but also noticed that the cutoff on my litronics was not that sharp. Some of my HIDs from past cars have had much sharper cutoffs, and never really understood why until your thread posting. Thanks!

It's glass. It'll take more time to shave off pieces of glass than layers of clear coat. Also tendency to create cracks, chip, hairline

Dupli color spray paint. You can use the clear coat of your choice.
It is possible if you pry the headlights open. Or you can access it in the back where the HID Ballast are, you can use a stick with cloth to clean the water spots... Yeah pretty hard with out prying it open.
