Much better.

Taking full advantage of todays gorgeous weather here in the north east, I took some time to really take apart the crappy Depo Headlights on my car and mount my ZKW Headlights









Had a few hiccups, A lot of tabs are broken & my corner lights are both broken in different places but I'll be buying new assemblies right around the same time as I do my ZKW Rebuild with the Retrofit Sources Rebuild Kit




Not exactly a fan of the output these have, but of course the main culprit is the Burnt Bowls, outside of that I cant complain. I was going to mount my new lenses today that I got with our group buy but I didnt, I figured when I rebuild everything - it'll feel good knowing I have basically everything brand new.

I mounted these this way for 1 of 3 reasons


1. I want to see if the OEM Gaskets on these headlights allow any condensation inside the housing (So i know if I need to buy new ones)
2. to sell my old DEPO's
3. I wanted to inspect the area for any leaks of any kind of fluid.


All in all, it was a great day spent outside taking care of my niece & the end result looks pretty awesome

I forgot how bad I needed this, as yellow as my ZKW lenses are - there no where near as yellow as the Depo's are, which is incredible considering the ZKW's are really 12.5 Years old lol

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous

Update: TODAY May 4th 2016 I purchased the following

ZKW Rebuild Kit from TRS Along with Brand New 6500K Bulbs

Headlight Lense Gaskets (Still havent installed my Khoalty Lenses)

Khoalty Carbon Fiber Front Lip

Gloss Black Kidney Grills

New Corner Lights - Euro Clear : The ones on my car were burnt and the bulb exploded inside the housing (Not sure why), So im going to buy new bulb connectors for both sides along with new bulbs Chrome Bulbs with the Amber Glow

Vibrant Performance Exhaust! Pretty stoked for this mod, Im pretty happy I kept my exhaust off of my Crashed ZHP now, fully removing my OEM exhaust incase I go back to stock

Finally Mounted my BBS CH's , Looking to get new tires for them in the weeks to follow (They're currently Plastidipped since my brother had them mounted for a short while)

Looking for a full Brake Service Job, Not sure if I should go OEM+ for normal Rotors and Pads or go for the Slotted Performance Rotors from UUC


And for anyone who see's this, Im due for an alignment soon

What should I be looking for in terms of wear tear minus the FCABS, Tire Tread wear, etc

I would like to replace any parts that are in bad shape before doing the alignment of course



Ive been busy with school, Recently promoted as a manager at my job.. This should be an excellent car season if things continue this smoothly & of course:
