The ZKW Burnt Bowls Thread

[KevinC]

Has anyone looked at Schmiedmann as a replacement source? They have impossibly cheap Hella E39 replacements - $381, purchased by known people here stateside and they're the equivalent of OEM, but with a Hella part number only. They seem to have a ton of E46 options, including either AL or ZKW, at fairly high prices, but those are with BMW part numbers. They have OE versions at far cheaper prices.. check this out.. also on page 4 they have replacement lenses too...

Pulled the trigger on a decent passenger's side complete Bosch AL system on eBay. Made an offer of $150 plus shipping, and he agreed. And so it begins. I already bought two new clear headlight covers and two Philips D2S lamps, and the existing eyebrow gaskets are in good to excellent shape. Now to find a driver's side assembly for a good price.

That's an insane deal. Well done.

For those, like me, who are interested in the cost for Lightwerkz to correct the burnt bowls syndrome see below. I emailed them yesterday on options to correct the issue and that I have a 04 ZHP Sedan with Xeonons. They responded this morning

"The labor for that job comes to $400.
We use the FXR projectors for that car which cost $110
The halos we put in that car come to $280.
We do not offer a core/exchange service.

Please let me know if you would like to discuss the details further."

So to wrap it up without the angel eyes addition it would be roughly $510, with is $790. Since they don't do a core/exchange option I'll have to reply to get more information on whether or not the $510/$790 options are with brand new equipment or ZKW's that have been repaired in some way. Stay tuned.

I just was in communication with them as well.

This is what I got for a quote. See below

The labor rate is $400, but projectors down to $110. $510 plus return shipping. let me know if you want to move forward I can send a deposit request. Thanks!

You have to either send your current headlights to them in New Jersey or drive to their location for the work to be done. As far as I know, they remove the current projectors from the headlights and replace them with brand new morimoto FX-R projectors. Then they ship them back to you to install and adjust them.

I see. That's cool you got the President to reply, do you have family in another mafia that we don't know anything about Vas?

Ha. Good one.

Btw I sent you a PM.

[BMWCurves]

Do you already have angel eyes or is the $280 for new halos plus labor? You can save yourself some money by installing halos yourself, they aren't hard to do.

I'm somewhat sure he's a one man shop. I dealt with Caesar when I dropped off my lights to have him work on 'em. Awesome to work with and very knowledgeable.
