If you want the zkw projector lens in your Al headlight the easiest thing to do is to actually just swap the Glass lens part from the zkw into the AL light. This requires no internal wiring changes and no external wiring changes so everything remains plug-and-play but you get the crisp clear zkw projector lens in the AL housing. Best part is you only need to remove the front plastic outer lens and some of the reflector bowls from the back to be able to get the Glass lens and housing out to swap them. You do not need to disassemble all of the parts like you seen so many threads. I was able to do the swap on mine fairly easily. Then sold the ZKW lights with the AL lens to someone who needed parts.
