Happy day Rooz! Have fun

Well, they are on the car. They look great, I will post pics in a little bit.

OK, install was pretty easy ONCE Umnitza sent me the wiring diagram, it all went smoothly, however, the ZKW's are longer than stock headlights, so it was a bit hard to get them in since on one side their is the intake and on other one the siren for alarm (which I had to relocate and I have stock alarm...) But I love the way they look. However, I won't be fully pleased up until my super bright white bulbs come in.

NOW the question is... Do I put eyebrows on or not?

I think eyebrows are ok if they don't cut part of the beam

Well here are the Pics:

My comp's hard drive is being gay so I had to install my camera's setting on my brother's laptop but here are the pics:

BEFORE:

AFTER:

This one is to show the parking light delete mod, I had to cut a wire from parking lights and used it for the DDE's

This is the finished look:

And this is the DDE's in plain sunlight:

If anyone cares to resize these, be my guest...

But question, how do you aim these ZKW's?

And I updated the "Rate my car pics" So please change your vote if you like the upgrade or not

Just beautiful!!

I'm always tempted to get a set for my car

**Rooz** · 06-11-2005, 05:37 PM

So... how do you aim the ZKW's?

**zeaq328i** · 06-12-2005, 06:56 AM

Beautiful....

**BaLAnCe17** · 06-12-2005, 02:20 PM

to aim, there are two screws in the back of the headlights (can be adjusted w/ a screwdriver). the one next to the projector is the left/right, and the one behind the higbeam is up/down. be careful not to loosen then too much or they may pop out and need to be rethreaded. one of my screws popped out and was never the same. i got an allen wrench and stuck it in the back of it. it seemed to adjust better than those little screws. but uses the screws 1st... lol

^^ Yeah I saw them this morning, but now that you say that am sure that those are it

I'll take it to my dad's shop tomorrow and use his "aiming" machine

**Spieluhr** · 06-13-2005, 03:19 AM

on the topic of aiming...

Rooz, do you remember the three black bolts that are on the top of your headlights that keep your headlights in on the top? There are also a few of these bolds on the sides of the headlights. You can screw or unscrew these to aim your headlights as well.

**bitcore** · 06-13-2005, 07:45 AM

I think the DOT wants you to have them perfectly level with how high they are from the ground. Just measure with some measuring tape and back up 15 feet from a wall, then turn the screws upwards one revolution cause you can't see shit otherwise :P

Yeah, i used those to have the headlights be the same with each other...

**Rooz** · 06-13-2005, 03:56 PM

Well, headlights are aimed now

Am really liking having DDE's

It's pretty neat when you get to a light and you can see the 4 halos on the reflection of other cars, lol
