you know i bet you could make a few bucks with this mod. I didn't even think to ask if the headlight housing can be sent as one piece and then just wire it onto the car.

I'm too lazy to try it myself, and i always have to wait for the boyfriend to help. Usually if it doesn't include his car, he isn't in a hurry to install it. I would pay more money to have it ready to just pop it in a wire it.

I'm really afraid to cut into the headlight housing for the HID projectors--BTW Rondy, nice Avatar ~.^

Oh yeah, you could open your headlight and just send me the reflector part to retrofit it, then I send it to you again and you close your headlight.

Shipping would be cheaper that way.

i clicked this thread expecting the modded lights to look, well, cheap and crappy. however, i was pleasantly surprised - they look great! and from the 55w vs 35w pic it looks like you've taken the time to aim the hid's properly vs. blinding oncoming traffic. well done!

well I dont like the look of cheap and crappy things so I make things until I can do them at least ok, but they look awesome.

thanks and yeah my lights are properly aligned and the HID projectors have a cut-off shield and they also direct the light towards the ground properly, you cant get that cut-off with a reflector using HIDs

i would, but i would want a separate pair for when i resell my car. I guess that shipping would cost around $30-40 using ground shipping. Do u think u can do it with a price range of 150-220? I can pay by paypal,

Oh yeah the price range

What do I need?

***bi-xenon projectors from $85 to $250 (mine were $140)

I found these (cheapest $85)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-BI-XENO...sspagenameZWD1V

but I would get these ones (they look lighter)

http://store.theretrofitsource.com/product...fabe694e1e7ae75

I have this ones but with clear lenses

http://store.theretrofitsource.com/product...fabe694e1e7ae75

***shroud bezels $35 to $100

I have not seen my angel eyes bezels again but we can glue the angel eye to any bezel I think as long it is the correct size.

***angel eyes

these are the brightest
http://www.retro-solutions.com/premiumccflangeleyes.html
they are $30 on ebay.

you can look also on ebay search for bi-xenon projectors, shrouds bezels.

I dont have a confirmed address. I have a US address where you can send me items but only if the seller doesnt ship to Mexico. Unless the shipping is very expensive to Mexico you can send them to US too.

I can buy the painting stuff and the material to do it here.

What you need, but I dont need it here to retrofit it.

You need a bi-xenon H4 harness($35 to $55), ballasts and bulbs.
When looking for projectors make sure they use D2S bulbs.

I would recommend in getting aftermarket 50W or 55W ballasts ($80 to $140)
and OEM Philips 85122+ D2S 4300K bulbs (from $50 to $90).

the cheapest set up would be
85(projectors) + 35(shrouds) + 30(angel eyes) + 35(chinese harness) + 80(cheap chinese HID kit) = $265 + shipping.
