Default Newest HID TL hybrid shots *large pics

Trying to wrap up my own newest personal retro in time for the SRTNationals, using my latest....the TL/ZKW projectors. As mentioned in my last thread, the colormods and foreground mods are a big NO NO on this set-up. For details just browse those other threads to get caught up for that info.
Anyways, fine tuned the aiming to perfect specs and I can't be anymore happier with this set-up. They are EXTREMELY bright and very wide now. When driving on a two lane road it swaths both sides with a crisp linear powerful beam that seems like 160 degrees width LOL. The beam is some powerful that the step and definition in the cutoff can be seen crisp up to around a 1/8th of a mile!! The simply destroy the S2K's I've had and rival width of any bi-xenon, including the Porshe Boxster-S which is just crazy wide by itself! They are what I would consider the perfect and best bi-xenon combo available. When driving it feels like this is what a LS430 must feel like, only with a super sharp and powerful intense beam.
Here are a few pics I managed to snap off for you all tonight.
Upclose on the front of my house the cutoff shows reddish orange colors and the beam is not sharp. About as sharp as a stock TL, only with crazy cool colors that will change as distance increases, you'll see......



So I backed up the hill of my driveway and was heading out. My neighbors are out of town so this gave me a good oppertunity to take a pic on a white surface. **Disregard the angled beam and height as I was on a slope on a angle pulling out of my driveway onto the street. . Anyways, as you can see the more distance I create the sharper the beam becomes as well as the intense purple and blue hues start to appear in the colorband. Check out the dark shadows on the right garage door. Notice that birght sliver of light not casting a shadow? This just shots how intense these bad boys are now!



And now for a cool shot showing just how powerful this beam is and how wide it performs. This is a long parking lot. The angle of the image kinda messes up the perspective but its a long parkling lot rest assured. The camera did not pic up the beam on the left side of the parking lot. I guess because I was focusing the camera on the right side more so than the left so it concentrated there. I suck at taking night pics like this ](*,) . Yes, the white balance is off but you'll get the idea . Anyways, on the right you can see the beam shaprness and if you look in the distance you can actually still make out the "step" in the cutoff very clear and distinct. This lets you know how powerful this beam is now. Like I said, it can shott its cutoff up to a 1/8th mile and still be distinct and sharp heh

Thanks Gabriel.

List of this set-up is:
-TL projectors (unmodded)

-ZKW lenses from BMW "ZKW" series HID projectors. They are hard to find but worth the effort.

-Hidplanet Gen-3 package.

Good Luck finding those ZKW lenses! Definitely hard to find. Ask Hak it took him sometime to find one and then still had to find the 2nd one to complete the set. I'm looking for a set myself with no luck....yet..


Kenny those lights look AMAZING. Makes my retro look like child's play. Gonna start saving up and purchasing the pieces soon.

ZKW makes the headlight assembly and projector. It is a company, not a model.

It is found on the 2002+ BMW 330 xi 4DR ONLY.

he's not taking anymore orders until around Fall. Depending on where you get your TL's and the ZKW lens if you want to go the same route as these, they are significantly more pricey. The TL projectors go for about $250 and up. The ZKW lens is hard to find right now and if you do find a pair expect to pay a pretty penny.

I think Hak priced these above 1K. Hope that helps.

If I were you I'd start trying to find the pieces. Check out HIDplanet.com and their buy/sell section. They usually have lots of projectors and OEM HID packages up for sale.

Good Luck
