Can auto lights be retrofitted to my 1999 GT? I already have auto wipers.
Thanks

i would of thought it could be done but not very easily
you would need all the parts from a pre-plexed auto light model plus i think the sensor maybe part of the screen??

I dont think the sensor is built into the screen, I think it's a separate unit. It was in my renaults anyway.

Yes you can do it! Lee_hdi did it... He bought a kit and just wired it straight into the lighting circuit. Worked quite well from what I remember.

They can be fitted to normal windscreen as the sensor just measures the light levels
They are just generally fitted to athermal windscreens on the 206, but its not a necessity

You can use the same sensor and fit it where it is
