    Nice video of z3

    Here is some cars portal in ex-USSR, and one of Z3 owners from Ukraine made some cool videos worth checking:

    Good videos! I really like the angel eyes in the first one. Would love to know where those were found.

    Nice vids! I really like the angel eye setup on the OE headlights; way better than those crappy ebay/depo headlights some of the people on the board have.

    They're Umnitza angle eyes... I can't find them on the updated website, I'm sure if you call they'd accommodate. They're just an inexpensive add-on to the stock light, less than $100 IRC.
    I love my car.

    These angel eyes rings are chinese aftermarket parts which you can buy on ebay and retrofit them. I personally don't think they belong to Z3. They are symbolizing typical decent BMW in my opinion and Z3 is not a typical Z3 even if it's classic design is quite decent.

    No, they are not Umnitza angel eyes.

    Z3s do look pretty good with angel eyes done right - first time I actually have seen angel eyes done "right" on a Z3.

    Look like umnitza thin angel eyes. They have gone through so many different types of angel eyes in the past that I am not even sure they can tell you which ones they are

    I think there are two ways of doing angel eyes - to place them on oposite sides of lenses. Also I believe, that there could be some post-processing on video.

    This would be correct, I purchased some from Japan and baked the headlights open, mounted the rings on front of the glass lenses. I've bought the aftermarket projection lenses with angel eyes just to be saddened by their lack of brightness... I'm loving my new set up.

    I think I may have gotten similar ones...

    I have been looking high and low for these rings since seeing this video last week. if anyone knows where I can pick up led rings that will fit, please let me know.

    Cheers,

    Paul

    In the second link, where they show how they put the headlights together, they are using a basic CCFL kit for E46 and modifying how it fits inside the housing.

    You can order those any time you want, but it requires a lot of work.

    We have moved away from CCFL because of the difficulties of supporting a product that is so prone to never ending failures.

    If you want something like that and are willing to do the same modifications, baking, installation, we don't have anything that inexpensive, then maybe you can considering getting our Orion V2 E46 kit and installing it. You can even do a retrofit at the same time.

    The full circle rings are also CCFL, the way you can tell that they are not too bright at all is if you see the surrounding light output. The camera has no problem showing you the oven details. For our Orion V2, you can't do that at that level of light output.

    here's how the CCFL looks compared to our Orion v2 in proper daytime operation:

    If you have any inquires, please email us - info@umnitza.com

    The problem with those e46 kits is the circular ring doesn't really suit the off shape of the original Z3 light. You guys used to have a CCFL light in the proper shape on your site, but I completely understand not wanting to support them with the reliability concerns. It would be great if you could shape your Orions to the shape of the Z3 lenses. Would make all these retrofits complete.
