    Quick Help... Projector Bowls...

    Can someone check out this auction for me and let me know if the projector bowl is included? I emailed the seller and clearly he has no idea, thought I was talking about the orange corner reflector...

    So, can anyone tell from the pics if its included? Thanks in advance.. .

    Looks like the housing got burned. Wouldn't buy.

    Do you currently have Halogens?

    No currently have bi-xenons.. Does that automatically mean auto-leveling? I have that too, just unsure what's standard and what's an option... Just looking for replacement bowls to replace my burnt ones... Ray Charles can see better than my car's lights at night...

    AL or Bosch are the best replacements, but keep the ZKW projector lenses.

    Hmm, ok... Still looking for where to source these parts...? I read over on E46fanatics that one of the easiest fixes was to get projector bowls from E90 housings. They're apparently made by ZKW, but better quality and metal... Also, its an 'OEM' fix... Have you heard of this fix?

    Yes, but its cheaper and easier to retrofit AL bi-xenon lights. Check Charlie's DIY.

    I just purchased some E90 projectors from a guy on e46fanatics and plan on doing this retrofit in the next week or two. From all the research I did this appears to be the retrofit that requires the least amount of hacking on the oem housings.

    Yeah I need to read it again... I can see how the AL retrofit would be cheaper, but I would think the E90 ZKW would be easier... Can anyone clarify? Thanks...

    Hey guys.. I have an offer to buy the projectors shown in the pics below... Is this all I need to do the retrofit to repair my lights? These are AL projectors, not sure on year or what car they came out of. Is this going to be sufficient? I was told $80 for this set, which to me seems good..

    Charlie? Anyone??

    I don't see the bowls? Not an HID expert either, though.
