Subject: BMW E-36 Headlight Kit Pricing Now Available for Jetta III


>Hello to everyone again.  Sorry for the several week delay in this
>information.
>
> After speaking with several manufacturers in order to get the best bang
>for the buck, I am now able to put together a complete E-36 headlight
>conversion kit for the Jetta III's.  The kit will include:
>
>1 pair new E-36 headlights, these use the 51watt 9006 low and 60 watt
>9005 high
>1 pair plastic molex for the wires from the car to plug into the back of
>the headlights, this give it the stock look
>1 grill, surrounds the headlight and has a large mouth opening with
>mounts for the stock grill emblem, primered
>the euro headlight jumper and shunt, a must in order to use the high and
>lows at the same time
>instructions with pictures
>headlight mounting bolts
>
>The cost for the kit is $550, and will be identical to the one on my car
>currently.  There is the possibility of upgrading the kit several ways.
>1)  You can upgrade the bulbs to the 80watt low and 100 watt high for $15
>2)  You can upgrade the whole light assembly to the European headlights
>which are 55 watt H1 projector lights low and 55 watt H1 high beams for
>$450, although I am pricing these through another vendor who says they
>can get the euro spec stuff cheaper, so this upgrade may come down in
>price if their claim holds true.
>3)  For those who have even more disposable income, there is an HID, high
>intensity Discharge system that is available for the E-36. It is a $1400
>upgrade.  Apparently there is a headlight assembly that can be run as a
>halogen or as an HID system just in case you think you might want to
>upgrade to HID at a later date.  Unsure of cost at this point.
>
>Benefits of this kit are:
>
>1)  Allows you to keep your stock hood, no converter pieces or changing
>to a golf grill, although if you have a golf, the conversion would be the
>opposite of the jetta dual round conversion.  Change the hood to a jetta
>style.
>2)  Better lighting coming from the better dual headlight set up.  By
>using the US spec headlights, you maintain the aiming nipples so if you
>have yearly inspections, you can still pass inspection.
>3)  If the headlight plastic gets rock chipped, you can replace the
>housing for about $50 per side, instead of replacing the whole headlight.

>Now this is where you guys come in,

>I need to order at least 12 grills from the manufacturer.  I am trying to
>make sure that I have at least some serious customers for this kit before
>I proceed.  What I would like is a 50% deposit from at least 5 people
>before I proceed with having the grills manufactured.  For this, I will
>give everyone 10% off and make the kit $495.  If I can get checks or
>credit card numbers from 5 people, I will proceed with the kit.  I will
