bens1088 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'd definitely be intersted in a classic looking set to replace all 4 lights on my 521. Half the time I can't even tell if the lights are on unless I'm on a backwoods country road at 2am :P. What would the costs be to upgrade all 4 lights? No idea for the classics yet.

Shagy Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 about $800 worth. I've been dealing with customs for about 3 months now. I'm sure they will not release my order, but I'm gonna try. I demo'd something like your modern ones a couple years ago. Look NASTY on the 510. I'll dig up the photos. i really like the classic look. I'm doing some kind of custom lighting with the BMW's on my 510. Too bad you guys are not closer to So.Cal, I'd loan you my wagon. Quote Link to comment

Shagy Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 its the only way to avoid some serious BS. I found out that importers are labeled as the manufacturer when bringing the stuff over. I"m looking for 2 9006 kits in 5000k (digital ballasts) and then I'm done buying them.... untill DOT approved ones are not raping people. Quote Link to comment

OkieRA29 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Just scored a good set of 5 series projectors from the local Pull-A-Part for 20 bucks. Gonna try and get this done soon. It is for a 'Yota, but principles should be the same. I will try and remember to take pics during the install and of the finished product. Quote Link to comment

(Low HID, high halogen) Absolutely, I daily drive my 73' 510 and work some stupid hours so they'll get plenty of testing on roads with little to no street lighting. PM me a good email and we can sort this out off the board. Adam 1 Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 we just sent off 2 test kits. we should have production versions in 6 months if things go well. Are these the modern style or classic? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Are these the modern style or classic? modern. They dont even have molds made for classics, as it costs more to do. If the moderns sell well, they will make the classics. Im not holding my breath, I have plans to buy a nice set of Crystal halogen housings, and then mod to fit these projectors into them.

thisismatt Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I know, I'm just nagging as much as possible. I think a classic looking projector would be a no brainer as far as selling better...but of course if it's more costly to produce than there are buyers I don't see it happening. Quote Link to comment
