Ok, so price without the LED eyebrow would be $900 - You can choose either full DTM or 3/4 DTM halos.

(And this includes the brighter ZKW-R projectors).

Photos of both of the exact headlights below...

So in addition to the base price for DTM halos and ZKW-R projectors ($900)... All other additional options are 20% off (except the LED eyebrows which are 34% off).

Meaning, you can customize any headlight you want.

Post what options you want if you need help pricing it out.

Thanks for organizing. I was on the fence during the Black Friday sale. I may jump on this.

Just to be clear, the "standard" package for the group buy does not include the new lenses, correct? That would be an add-on option eligible for 20% off? It feels a bit silly to re-use lenses after doing this awesome rebuild, but I like that they have the option at least.

Correct, new outer lenses would be $160.

And ya some people's lenses don't need replacing.

I just maintain mine with 303 Aerospace UV Protectant, and Graphene coat on top of that (along with the rest of the exterior of the car).

Correct!

Regular price for that setup would be $2,100... so not bad.

That's a baddazz setup btw. I'm excited to see everyone's headlights when this is compete.

So the entire shroud is removed, rather than cutting it and attaching the halo?

Looks kinda weird to me with a missing shroud.

Great. Count me in!

Could you ask if it's possible to do a 1x1 weave pattern for the CF LED eyebrows?

The shroud is installed in the headlight now.
The installation picture was before it was put back together.
The entire headlight is the same as it was before the install.
With the precision kit there is not cutting, fitting or gluing.
I was showing a picture of the installation of the rings.
You can certainly send me a message if you have any more questions.
Looks cool, but if there is no cutting of the shroud, means that the halos are sitting further forward, not recessed snuggly like oem-style.

Also, to open them up you have to heat them up in the oven... I only have one oven, which my family eats from, and I don't know what kind of chemical fumes will be released from the glue/plastic, and possibly be left behind in the oven.

Further, scraping/painting shrouds/corner reflectors, gluing/attaching, then hoping I sealed them properly so they don't leak/fog up...

I'd be learning my first time around, and popping my headlight building cherry on my final product, my pride and joy.

All that considered... a few hundred bucks more is worth it for me

I have a silly question.

We send in our headlights for updates to rings, brows, projectors, corners, etc. . .

Doesn't this require the update of halo bulbs to a new LUX unit to also update the color of the halos? Otherwise I'd have factory brown (updated) eyebrows and rings?

Good question... No, the new halo rings themselves will be LED tubes, hence why they have such a vivid and defined look to them.

And you've touched on one of the reasons why the stock halos look so crappy... They are designed with only one halo bulb per headlight, which powers the inner ring, so there is no direct light flowing to the outer halo ring.

Which is why no matter how bright of a halo bulb (LUX or other) you install... The outer ring will always be dim.

(see photos below of what I'm talking about).

Went with the round version 3. Recommend if you pony up for this, get new OEM headlight lens (outer) as well. The angel eyes tend to amplify rock chips.

I did the work myself which included OEM ZKW clear projector lens, in hindsight I would pay for someone else to do the work.
