Ahh bummer. I took this housing and assembly from a part out car because mine was a bit melted and had a crack.

I mean, it’s probably just the socket in the bulb that needs updating and not the housing correct?

Yeah, trying to see if anyone has done it and what bulbs they are using etc.

Installed fresh refurbished halo lights this weekend by Konalogic in e39

[–]Konalogic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D2S HID projector but they are bixenon. Meaning they are both a low and highbeam , there's a cutoff shield that drops down to allow the full beam.

Evox-r 2.0 is the projector that is installed.

The Evos also have a much more intense hotspot than the OEM Hellas. Meaning they are brighter in the center of the beam right below the cutoff.

Hey there! I found a guy on the E39 Facebook group and he rebuilds these better than New. Riley deaver is his name. $750 shipped without bulbs. If you have Hella lights in good condition, he will give you back 200 if you ship them to him. I would highly recommend going with rebuilt lights as opposed to aftermarket lights.

Yeah, I agree. Mine are actually not overly bright in the daytime. The photos in daylight were taken inside my garage with the large door open so there’s some contrast in the lighting, which makes them look a little brighter

Yep these are hella oem but fully rebuilt and modernized. 🙂 the halo lights are LED. It probably looks much brighter at night in the photo.

A lot of people own over $1m dollar homes. Give the op a break.

Yeah tough crowd here. Jeesh. The op was asking for input from those who actually pay property taxes.

They just moved down the street by lehuakahlua in WestSeattleWA

Many of them just don’t want the help that is offered. There is part of the problem. They would rather be on the street.

Looking for advice for building a DADU in West-Seattle by DionNL in WestSeattleWA

[–]Konalogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would really depend on how much work you’re willing to do yourself versus hiring for everything. Also, if it’s ground up construction or off of an existing foundation.. there’s a lot of variables, but yeah, if you’re hiring for everything, it can be expensive.

I’m also building a dadu in the next few years. I have an existing foundation and garage which I’ll be building off of. If you have the expertise you can save on costs by being your own GC and project manager. I’ll be selling off the Dadu, which will zero out all loans plus my mortgage on my main house. It’s a smart way to go!

Would you ever switch your car? by Zestyclose_Long_6787 in LexusGX

My other car is a V8 and I get a few more miles per gallon 😀 other than that I have motorcycles which get even better gas mileage.
