geometry of the bulb itself yes, geometry of the bulb base and as a result the way (and depth with which) they sit in the bulb holder no. once you get the parts in your hand you'll see what i'm talking about.
The passenger oem e46 bowl pictured was in "normal" un-burned condition. this is the factory beam pattern.

Damn...those Phillips bulbs are $200.00 a pop aren't they? How much are you hoping to get for the ZKW's?

OK, just grabbed the car. The AL's are installed and there is a noticeable difference in light output. Plus, I'm happy that I have brand new lights in the car instead of 7 year old electronics.
I did my best to aim them, but am not a pro. Any aiming advice would be helpful...

Driver's side, new AL light installed / passenger side, old ZKW. Can't really tell from this pic the difference, but it was noticeable in person:

Looks great. Really well done and thanks for sharing the info.
There is a procedure to properly aim headlights. Hang tight.
