    I understand you shop's paranoia of modifying the housing to the point of no return... A little scary doing that to units that are over 1k a piece...

    FYI, if anybody orders the E46 repair kit directly from The Retrofit Source, the kit now comes with the Morimoto Mini DS2 4.0 projectors. The install is pretty much the same, but it's my understanding that the ZKW adapter bracket is mounted differently than the FX-Rs. The photo below is how the ZKW adapter fits onto the Mini DS2 4.0 projectors.Name:  e46 RQ.jpg

    Thread necromancy warning.

    I'm going to be replacing the twice-burnt ZKW Xenons on my '04 sedan. The Retro-Quik product page has virtually no information on it. I don't know how they sell anything.

    Questions...

    Do the kits come with bulbs, or do they default to none assuming I already have bulbs?

    Do I need the shrouds mentioned in the original post here? The kit seems to have them.

    Is this even the right solution for a bi-Xenon stock headlight replacement?

    Thanks. It's been difficult to determine what info in this thread is still accurate and relevant. 'Preciate any updates. I'll be sure to contribute what I learn as I go. Might even do a full updated how-to.

    It does not come with bulbs, u can used ur original bulbs but you might as well buy new ones, I chose 5k color ones . I reused the original shrouds that came from the zkw headlights . This is not an easy plug and play set up . There is some modification you have to do to the bracket shrouds . But overall light output is superb . Would I do it again yes I will . Good luck

    I don't believe it comes with bulbs unless you add the optional bulbs. Based on the bottom left on that page, it includes the projectors and the brackets.

    There is a DIY here for the Mini D2S 4.0, but I believe this was done without the bracket hardware:

    I'm going to have to pull my foot out of my mouth. Apparently the page wasn't fully loaded when I looked the first time, and all that helpful info down below wasn't showing for me. That sure clears some things up.

    Thanks for the replies.
