    No problem, and I can always answer questions for you if needed while you are doing it.

    It seems like a lot of work and is outside my technical knowledge. Darn; was thinking *maybe* it would be a DIY project for me...
    You're saying there are issues with alignment and getting the projector to sit right. I'm not creative enough to do that. lol

    In talks with Matt at TRS racking his brain about any options that would be more bolt in than the FX-R.

    There are smaller and easier to mount projectors that they have but the light output and spread is not going to compare to the fxr. The fxr is actually a pretty good fit for our frames.

    I just confirmed the badge of shame on my headlights. Someone replaced both covers with AL, but the headlights are in fact zkw. This explains the extremely poor light output. Now, what to do about it...

    That sucks. And an incredibly pre-meditated douche bag move on the part of whoever did it.

    if the problem is due to the projector bowls "burning out," and that's most likely the problem. the best option seems to be a projector retrofit from a place like lightwerkz. a fellow ZHP owner, and good friend, had this same problem on his '04 ZHP.

    sent his lights to lightwerkz and had the upgrade performed - very happy with the service and results. I can't believe how nice his lights are now.

    I'm now contemplating something similar to upgrade my stock halogens.

    I'd love to, but I need these headlights on my car on a daily basis. I also had trouble getting them out. I need the entire housing to come out, and I see 2 8mm bolts on the top, but there's something holding it on underneath that I can't get to. How do you get the housing out?

    The lenses are interchangeable, but for some reason the zkw ones are more expensive. ?????
