Re: 99 lx to exec spec
Hi Annie, I have pretty much converted my GLX to Exec spec, using my donor Exec. Everything execpt the headlight washers - I have the bits but I can't be arsed.
I will be fitting the old GLX electric seats into an LX with manual seats in a few weeks time - there should still be a power supply under the manual seats.
The stuff that was a straight fit is, Type C display, leather heated interior ( you will need an electric seat switch from a non-Exec, not done the heated part yet though.. ) sunvisors, speakers, black dashboard and glovebox. The cruise control was not so straightforward, but there is an excellent guide in the knowledge base.

Re: 99 lx to exec spec
I forgot to add Annie - as a little bonus, the intercooler and pipework will fit on your 90, to give you more ooomph. 
If you want the memory seats/mirrors then its a lot of work to fit and most of the wiring is missing on the LX, ( I guess its possible but I wasn't worried about it ) but if you just want the electric and heated seats then its straightforward.

Re: 99 lx to exec spec
i think as long as long as motors in seats fully working and heated in front for winter it would be great.
my lx has manual rears so dor card wont fit from exec i think. looks like ill stay the way it is as its already got an excellent rip free interior. really want the full cream leather interir or the later tan colour.

Re: 99 lx to exec spec
Always worth checking what spare connectors you have on the existing wiring looms, it is French after all and they did have a tendancy to fit whatever was closest to hand at the time.

Re: 99 lx to exec spec
Just a thought guys, I don't think any HDi 90 ever had cruise control, so it's not likely to be present as an option to enable.
(You need a late 2000-on ecu + bsi to be able to do it with a 110 and possibly add some wiring as Steve Earwig did).
The 90 doesn't have a MAP sensor or the wherewithal to control a 110-style waste gate, (don't know if this matters though).
