    I understand that! Perhaps you can contact some of the members that responded to his thread to see how the transaction went.

    This thing is getting way too convoluted

    I'll look myself for something and risk it, seems like no one here knows a new part I can just put in. I emailed the major retailers, only one replied... maybe I should just call them. Not sure why getting lights is this hard nowadays.

    I like Vas idea on post #10. Just make sure you pay with PayPal.

    Don't use PayPal "Family and Friends" option.

    So I was doing some additional research and I'm wondering about this solution, is there something terribly wrong with this that doesn't take care of the ZKW burnt bowl issue and light brightness?

    Keep my ZKW headlights & replace:
    ✔ Projectors (Morimoto Mini D2S 5.0) $174
    ✔ Bulbs (Morimoto XB D2S 35W) $65
    ✔ Lenses (FCP Euro Magneti Marelli) $70

    And these fogs:

    Are you keeping your same bowls? If yes, the above solution won't help.

    Ugh really? I thought the projector itself will override the bowl??

    FML

    Ok so we are back to

    1. Get the AL light on eBay (maybe negotiate down to $400, fair? It's still for sale)

    2. Bulbs are probably dimmer now so get the Morimoto HID bulbs (3500 lumens each and like 4500K color)

    3. New lenses (on FCP euro for like $65 each)

    Is this my best plan... And then the Morimoto foglights (like 1200 lumens at 5000K color i think)

    I think that will work. Just remember to add new gaskets for the lenses.

    Someone told me about my last "solution":
    [ Projectors (Morimoto Mini D2S 5.0) + Bulbs (Morimoto XB D2S 35W) + Lenses (FCP Euro Magneti Marelli) ]


    If you’re replacing the projectors entirely, it removes the burnt bowl issue completely.
    You are already planning to replace the entire projector assembly (Morimoto Mini D2S 5.0).
    This means you will NOT be keeping the burnt bowls...
    If you replace your ZKW projectors entirely (not just the bulbs), then the burnt bowl issue is 100% FIXED.


    Are we missing something here?

    These are the projectors I am looking at:

    Seems like a much better solution for this pesky ZKW issue.

    And even though these state for e46 M3 are we sure this will fit the 2003 ZHP?
    Then it is assumed that the ZHP and M3 share the same bumper style vs stock 330i?

    Do I also need both of these or just the tube looking one?
