ZKW installation

Hey guys i have finally got around to install my ZKW lights. And damn they were hard. Those light was so huge that it wouldn't fit into the OEM headlights bracket at all. I had to cut off the bottom side of the bracket completely to make that sucker fit. I gueess that's why in stu's car there isn't much of a gap between the hood and his lights. And then there is more cutting in the car. I had to trim alttle of the front frame off and had to cut of part of the OEM intake tube behind the headlights. Let's just say there is ALOT of cutting EVERYWHERE. But yes it's possible but just messy.

I did the install myself a couple of months ago, and it was hard, it took me about 4 hours to cut everything I needed to cut for the first side I did. But it only took me about 1 1/2 hours for the second one, since I had some idea of what to cut. But I liked the way they came out. Next I want to and the Angel eyes to it, or just get the whole headlamp and put those in.

hey guys, can you email me, I'm compiling instructions for these along with my own experience. I want to also compare a regular BMW install (which I've done) with the ellipsoids.
