    I'm gonna keep my eye on this thread. My light output is okay, I mean it's not like I can't see when it's dark out, but it would be awesome if it were brighter. I'd be tempted to see this DIY retrofit that the Registry just posted. Otherwise, I'd consider the MMs. The DIY we currently have is waaaaay too involved for me.

    cheers.

    Honestly I would think these are better quality than the ZKWs, Magneti Marelli is a Fiat division who provides parts for a ton of F1 teams

  5. Picked up a set of projectors for 120 shipped on ebay. I am trying to not get too excited in case they don't fit

    I have heard of this solution as well, but I am unable to find any E90 ZKW reflectors. If you have a source, please share it. Thanks

    Just a note...when you all do this swap to the ALs, keep your ZKW lenses. They are far superior to the ALs.

    this has been done and documented pretty well on e46f. I did it as well and documented my progress here at zhpmafia. I reorganized my photobucket though and the links are all broken. when I get some time I'll update them.

    'direct bolt on replacement' it is not. fair amount of cutting, drilling, and rigging. the bulb retainer is the biggest gap in this solution. beam pattern is 95% or so correct.

    Just got back from the shop. These are indeed AL OEM headlights. I plugged one in quickly next to my ZKW bulb and the light output is significantly brighter. Huge difference. I'm just going to buy these and sell my ZKWs... Figure the net cost will be $500-$600 for brand new OEM headlights with a warranty. Done & done.

    BTW, Philips HID bulb is in there....
