Inferior, perhaps yes to the FX-R, but in no way are the AL's inferior when not comparing to something. They light friggin' AWESOME overall.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.
e46 projectors are known for being just about the best when it comes to their depth and distance that they provide.

Yes. That's what I meant. Of course. Inferior in this particular comparison.

I need Projectors...
My pitted lenses and unleveled Halogen bowls is damn near worthless at night. Really considering shelling out the $500 for a retrofitted set. I had to back out at the end of last year, but I'm waiting on my tax return to get them.

If you've got halogens I'd jump on the FX-Rs in a heartbeat. I am seriously impressed with that picture nike posted.
I just don't like the dremel plus JB weld process for lighting....seems short lived and haphazard for something as safety critical and aim/alignment sensitive as lighting. That said, I think if you were really diligent and careful about it you could come up with something clean, professional, adjustable, and long lasting. If I had an extra set of lights (or very burned ZKWs or very bad shape halogens) I think I'd be willing to try it out.

Got the FX-R retrofit done
Re-installed the lights today.
I'm absolutely impressed with the results. I can actually see now, and they still have a nice cutoff.
Dropped them off at Lightwerkz (very close to me) yesterday, and got them back today.
Big thanks to Caesar over at Lightwerkz!
For sale: ZKW Projectors with lenses. Passengers side is a brand new bowl.
Posting these on eBay shortly.

That cutoff is baller.
