Crap. Sorry, the price I saw was in EUROS. My very bad.

The price I paid at Christmas was as I quoted, USD 366.00 all in. Part numbers shown.

The new Schmiedmann site does not list everything available in their categories. You have to search by PN.

I see they lack the 'wind dimples' on the glass' top.

I've never figured out what lights have or don't have them. I've held several units from both Bosch and ZKW, both H1 and H7 and from that I couldn't come with a conclusion.

As Brett recommended me the same links from Schmeidman a year back, I have not had any trouble with my lights and installation was relatively smooth.

Thank you,

Omair

Did you ever figure out the "headlight out" code for your Morimoto Bi_LED set up?

Want to make the $65 pair and then add in line the resistor(?) to correct the light out indicator? Obviously it would be more.

It looks like the only way to do it is to modify the check control module. I’ve never had any luck with the capacitors people use.

I believe you but wonder why TRS would sell the harness knowing the car, lights, and issue - but it still not work.

Sorry for the delay. Finally got all the parts in to make more. Changed the design a little to cut down on wire length as the body side US connectors are already quite long.

Just sent the money for one of the $65.00 sets. Thanks!
