Why pay for someone to do them? Here is my advice, find some zenki headlights and rip those apart so you still have some on your car. take your time and research the retrofit and then just go for it

Man, you Zilvians are cheap mofos. Even the Z guys are more willing to pay someone else to do the work because not everyone has skills or "craftsmanship."

Unfortunately I do not know someone local for this sort of thing. You have a much better chance with Z or BMW forums for this.

You call it being cheap, I see it as learning a new skill.

Built not bought, a car enthusiast should take pride in building his/her own car. Of course he can go and buy some but if he challenges himself to tackle a project then not only will he have a feeling of accomplishment but he willbe able to help his community out and show others. Plus, any car enthusiast should want to have his car unique not something that has been seen before.


As for the first comment I had I was not trying to flame or harass you but on a project like this the skill set needed to make the end result is next to none. Challenge yourself to learn more and that is how you will earn respect.

I use to think this way until "time" became an issue in both as a hobbyist and a professional.

I'm a software developer by trade. If I work on cars directly, like a garage, I understand. However, but spending more time on cars as a hobby will become detrimental to the point where you lose time somewhere else. Not everyone has time to work these projects and sometimes time is of the essence.

While I have respect for those doing the entire work of the car on their own, it really becomes "waste of time" if you cannot apply it for financial gain.

This is where economies of scale and specializations come in and why companies outsource services to other companies (and I don't mean outsource to another country).
