Headlight upgrade cost?
Hey everyone,
Hope you all are well during these times. I've always wanted to upgrade the headlights in my E92 M3. I got quoted: $1100 DTM Rings Eyebrow Lci blinker New lenses Shipping back my old headlights after new ones arrive. What are you thoughts on the price? Never experiment with headlights before so wanted to get your opinion. Thank you! |

Price is good if reputable work.
I paid that much just for new lenses ($200), ZKW clear projectors ($50), and Osram CBIs ($175) all installed. It’s a bit of labor to open these lights up versus E46M design. However BayOptiks does great work and I’m happy with the finished product, they look factory new and perform like a generation newer. |

I agree with wyatth here (whatup man, thanks for that bump the other day) in that you want to focus on reputable work. If you research enough, you'll find there are really only about a half-dozen folks you should be considering for our cars, BayOptiks being one of them. If you are too price focused, you may be disappointed in what you end up with which will be really expensive to do anything about at that point. I suggest to go with a reputable installer and plan for that cost.

I agree with what others above have said - you don't want to overpay of course, but the focus should be finding someone who does reputable work. I've seen some real headlight retrofit hack jobs on this site over the years.
BayOptiks has a good reputation on this site from what I've seen, however the rings they use seem way oversized IMO. My retrofit was done by OneEighty. I paid about $1500 as I recall for the following work: Black out corner housing Painted shrouds w/ OEM style projector text LED corner light delete Euro clear lens Clear cornering lens LED rings New OEM outer lenses |

My buddy AW335OME did my headlights for me. He runs @specialemotorworks on IG. Very reasonable prices for the kind of build and the quality is top notch.
My build is: BavGruppe 3/4 cut DTM rings LED Switchback Eyebrow Full blackout New OEM Lenses
