Nice setup!

People sure want bank $$$ for ZKW lenses! That's the most expensive part of the setup! I am looking for ZKW lenses for a TL + ZKW setup and the cheapest I have found is a guy wanting $310 for a pair of ZKW projectors with lenses. DOH!

i have a set of retrofitted headlights with e46 projectors and can only hope my cut off is as clean as urs. which kelvin rating did you end up going with?

the pictures alone are making me inquire about bulbs, ballasts, and h4 conversion wiring harness from customlightz

in for the pics...

sorry but the brightness & width are from the TL projector & the sharpness of the cutoff is from the BMW bi-xenon ZKW lense.... bulb & ballast really have nothing to do with the results you see

Hi Greg. I wasn't even aware you created this thread back in November.

Headlights look good.


Like Greg said, using the same bulbs and ballasts won't turn your E46 into a TL with ZKW lens. Depending on whether you are using a single or bi xenon E46, you have the option of lens swapping too.


Thanks

Thread opened, but with HID Planet links removed. I saw no reason to have it closed other than that.
