I finished working on my AL headlights. Picked them up a while ago from an e46fanatics partout to replace my zkw lights. Did the zkw-r lenses, put on new headlight covers and also added gold umnitza V2s. I’m not expecting the whole thing to have been done perfectly, but I think they’ll be pretty damn close. I have to say for my first true diy with my zhp, I pretty proud of myself.
I’m hoping to get them installed tomorrow. I’ll post more pics when I can.
Stay tuned.....

Oh before I forget...... I picked up my zkw-r lenses from ecs. I was expecting to have to add washers or make adjustments for them but from what I can tell they fell into the lens holder perfectly. No other work had to be done. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

The gold AEs are going to look killer against your Oxford Green.

Ugh I can’t wait to see them. I need my neighbor to help me wire them up properly as I want them to go on with my corner lights.


Nice to be able to finally wrap this project up. I’ve been collecting parts for some time- I picked up the angels back in September. Got them in and everything checked out fine. They came with the AL specific mounting brackets so no need to dremel anything. I tried to adjust the beam as best as I could and it was too light out to get any good shots but I’ll go for a test drive Wednesday night to get some and fine tune where the light is pointing. If the light output is good I’ll leave them as is for now. If not, I’ll probably order CBIs. We’re moving on Thursday and it’s gonna be much darker in Westchester than it is in NYC so these were a must.

Drive back to KY went well. Sent the ZHP down to Louisville with my brothers who work together at a top tier body shop. Having 3 dings pulled, some paint touch up done in some small areas, and have my Shadowline trim fixed.

I would be curious to know what wire you tap into for this. I had mine wired into the interior lights as well as when the ignition turned on. After a while, I removed the interior light connection because it got very annoying to have the door open on the AE's on.

Got the car a quick wash this morning on the way to work. Over the weekend, I had thoughts to sell the car and still somewhat do. These thoughts have been popping up for a little bit and I'm not sure what to do. With the purchase of a new house and some other things going on, not sure if the ZHP still makes sense. I have my 4runner and like driving it. It also meets my needs here in CO especially with winter driving. My fear is that I will regret selling the ZHP as I've seen others have this exact experience.

Do you need the cash, just a case of "I don't use it much anymore," or something else?

I do not think I need the cash at the moment. Obviously with buying a house, I have a lot less in my account at the moment. That said, it really falls in the last category of something else. I'm looking at the need of having two cars (and maintaining them). I absolutely love driving the ZHP. I guess I'm looking at the practicality of the situation.
