I just looked at my burnt bowls yesterday will ravaging though some old items that have been replaced with mods.
I was thinking that I may end up retro-fitting FX-R's since I've been seeing their light output and nothing is ever seemingly good for me in regards to light output. I'll probably be able to sell these AL's from the M3 I got them from.

i liked the FX-Rs .... I just always felt like JB welding the things in there was so bush league. I guess if you really took your time and aimed them right that's probably the best light output solution. shrug.

You're selling AL's?

Whenever I decide on FX-R's I probably will.. Whether that be later this winter or in the spring. I need to build up some fundsOriginally Posted by danewilson77

I just recently noticed my light output was kinda getting washed out more on the driver side. Still adequate for now, so I'm definitely looking into this for the near future for upgrades. E90 seems to be the best cheap solution with a little DIY.

I have completed my E90 reflector swap. I added some notes and pictures to Charlie's thread in the DIY section. Look for post #29 http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...r-Retrofit-DIY
Overall, I am very pleased. Let me know it you have any questions.

edlvrt, thanks for adding to my DIY thread
This is exactly what I wanted. Have something that will help everyone in the community and we all add to make this DIY better

I didn't care about the tail light recall, but I really, really care about this. BMW could easily make this right.

They really should. Though I finally have my lights fixed and working as they should have all this time, I have not given up on my efforts to get this recognized by the NHTSA. I plan on mailing them my old reflectors and a letter shortly. Everyone needs to do their part and continue to call in and file complaints. Be sure spread the word and have other affected owners do the same. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Ed, you're right here. I will be submitting my letter shortly...
What BMW should do is replace these headlight assemblies with the AL headlight assemblies that SNA77 had mentioned as the alternative solution. This is what he did to have workable headlights over the ZKWs...seen at this link:
