The BMW 3 Series E46 , produced from 1998 to 2005 , is a very characteristic car with real "BMW class and quality". The headlights of these cars were built by two different headlight manufacturers. One manufacturer is Bosch , also known as AL (Automotive Lighting). The other is the Austrian manufacturer ZKW. The latter manufacturer, ZKW, has produced projectors bowls from plastic material. Unfortunately, it appears that this plastic is not able to stand the heat of the D2S xenon bulb, causing the reflective layer to disappear. The result is a light output that decreases so dramatically that finally the headlights will be rejected at the yearly inspection. Unfortunately, ZKW never made new bowls available, and the only option was to buy a new set of headlights. With this kit, however, you can completely restore the light output for a fraction of the price of new headlights!
This kit contains two new Bi-xenon projectors. These medium size projectors generate a good light output with the clear 3.0 inch lenses. The projectors can be mounted directly in the ZKW headlight frame using the supplied screws and mounting sticker.
Included are two new E46-R shrouds. The original shrouds are often burned at the top and with the new shrouds the headlight looks like new again.
To operate the Bi-xenon solenoid, an H7 splitter is included. This bypasses the original solenoid wiring. The H7 splitter takes 12V directly from the high beam or European vehicles. For US/Canadian vehicles, the original solenoid wiring has to be connected.
The content/mounting of the kit can change overtime.
Please note that the butterfly mounting nuts probably need to be grinded a bit so there is enough space for the igniter.

Retrofitting refers to the addition of new technology or features to older systems. These days there are a lot of people who put a simple plug & play xenon kit in their halogen headlight housing in an attempt to improve night vision and looks of their vehicle. In fact they don’t realize that their headlight beams are often worse than before. Night vision achieves relatively little improvement on night vision because of a poor beam pattern, which increases the blinding of other road users. This is because their headlight housings are designed for halogen and not xenon.
A true Bi-Xenon projector update is now possible for your car. Such an upgrade will significantly improve your light output from 700-2100 lumens to 2800 and 3500 lumens, without blinding other traffic with glare from your headlight. Upgrade your headlight OEM style!
The latest high power Led bulbs will upgrade both the exterior and interior lighting system of your car. Led lighting is becoming more and more popular in the automotive market for obvious reasons. They have longer lifetime, use less energy and improve safety with their fast response time.
