The Retro Fit Source Group Buy - Feeler

[ZHP_Brandon]

I've contacted TRS for a possible Group Buy for a Full ZKW rebuild kit for Bi-Xenon headlights.

The discount is upon your sub-total purchase, meaning before Tax & Shipping.

They want to know how many people are interested, the more committed buyers we have the bigger the discount we'll recieve as a group.

So far if its less than 10 people, We have a 10% discount to start just for having interest which is probably there typical discount code.

Keep in mind that this rebuild kit Comes with absolutely everything you need to get "Like-New" OEM Headlight Output.

^^ Link to TRS E46 Headlight Rebuild Kit ^^

Starts at 175$, with no Epoxy or New Bulbs

With Bulbs/Epoxy/& the Kit will run you 224.50$ with NO DISCOUNT.

Much cheaper than replacing the full headlight Assembly or Buying Used AL Headlights.

Tentatively count me in pending discount

I recall there being anywhere from 6-8 other people interested during the Headlight Lens group buy... hopefully we can get 10-15 people on this forum alone over the next day or so

FWIW I am getting security warnings when I try to load the retrofit page. Just reporting this: not asking for support.

Thats Odd? I wonder why it would do that, It could potentially be because I posted a Hyperlink from my cellphone so maybe the data transfer isnt the same if the link is clicked on from a Desktop/Laptop or your Browser isn't able to support there HTML Codes.

Feel free go visit www.theretrofitsource.com


Clicking:
>Complete Retrofit Kits
>"Application Specific"
> Scroll down to the Item that says:

"RETRO-QUIK: BMW E46 / ZKW HEADLIGHT REPAIR KIT"

& thats the item I'm speaking on.


My apologies for the dead link guys [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

I don't want to hijack this thread with this diversion, but I will quickly note that the more direct URL (www.theretrofitsource.com (http://www.theretrofitsource.com)) redirects to the https path anyway, and fails.

I'd suggest we leave it at that: I was mostly trying to alert the vendor.

Im interested, curious what sort of discount could be expected.

Awesome, hopefully more people attempt this in the mean time. I cant source AL Headlights for cheaper than this rebuild so I figured why not

I am certainly interested but make myself much more up-to-speed on the particulars of the problem before committing.

I think theretrofitsource has 10% off $100, 15% off $150, and all the way up to 25% off 250 every thanksgiving. Do you think they are going to offer better discount for the group buy?

I can always ask, But in reality if they give us anything better than 15% off I'm happy to buy it. Even with 10% off and thats including, bulbs, epoxy, and the full kit - Its $202.45 or so.

Its really up to you guys to commit, For me its worth the investment considering this is whats currently mounted on my ZHP lol

Just emailed TRS to see if they can offer a better discount in case we get more interest on here, and if the discount is 20%+ then I'll be moving the group buy to the E46F forum for more signees.

Just received a response about the discounts available for us.



"It would basically be 15-20 would be 15%, 20-25 would be 20% and 25+ would be 25% off."


Heres the broken down math, Keep in mind that the prices I'm calculating includes the following:

- The Kit: $175.00
- J.B Weld: $4.50
- D2S XB 6500K: $45.00

Total = 224.50$ with out any discounts.


10 People or Less = 10% Off


$202.05+Tax


15-20 People = 15% Off

$190.83+Tax

20-25 People = 20% Off

$179.60 +Tax

25(+) People = 25% Off

$168.38 +Tax

[ZHP_Brandon]

I am in for a kit, night driving in the rain is no bueno with burnt bowls.

[ZacharyMikel]

If anyone is considering this... JUST DO IT!! :) this is one of my most favorite upgrades to my car. My 4500k D2S bulbs with these projectors are visibly brighter than most Audi & Acura's!!

But I agree, All I see is a blue haze in most situations and its frustrating knowing how bright they actually CAN be lol

I guess the interest on this super slow because of everyone else having to recuperate off of the GruppeM intake Group Buy, I wouldve loved to have gotten one but being able to SEE is a step above on my priority list LOL

Thank you for the reassertion that this is actually worth pursuing! Do you have any photos of the Output with the 4500K bulbs? I want a nice blue out put, but Idk what degree Kelvin the stock Bulbs are so I figured 6500K it is lol

4500k look like halogens. You'll want 6000's for blue-ish. I could grab a photo for ya tonight most likely.

Bi-Xenon: Morimoto EvoX-R Projectors.

In googling them, the pictures of the out put are staggeringly different

Seconded. Although, I wish I would have gotten in on the lens group buy. New lenses with new projector/bulbs and night driving would be like day driving!

Thats what exactly what I did! I bought my lenses, and now all I need is the Kit and I'll basically have brand new headlights. Im hoping at the same time to buy Xpel , I've heard its like a resin coating for plastic lenses that really keeps them looking brand new [emoji1417]

[ZHP_Brandon]

Any one wanna help Spear Head this group buy on other forums? I tried E46F but they said no since TRS isnt a sponsor -_-... I hate that forum sometimes
