The FX-R swap includes parts and labor. $700 for superior lights is a complete bargain if you ask me.

^^ This is using your original headlight housings. They modify it to make the FX-R's fit.

He's selling the car. I'd rather spend ~$120 to get rid of the temporary problem. He said the light on the ZKW side went out. Not is too burned.

$700 IS a lot of money. Especially for headlights. I paid $350 for both AL lights and they're working just fine.

This. Most of the time I believe those headlights still sell for around that price EACH. For a tiny bit more money, the FX-R provides much more superior lighting.

I find great value in that, but if you're happy with your AL's then great. I'm still going to upgrade my AL's to FX-R, not because of the light output, but because my highbeam shutter solenoids are shot. The better light output will just be a plusssss. :)

And by the way, $700 is the highest price I've seen. I have a Club member friend who just did a Lightwerkz retrofit and he paid only $450.

If anyone needs headlights, you need to hit up Jack.chris328i on e46f. He can help you with your lighting issues the same way he helped me.

I mean that he sold me a set of PnP AL Bi-xenons for $500 shipped to my door.
