Predator ICE™- OE Upgrade Angel Eyes ???

[KMFDM26]

Can anyone give me positive feedback on these??? ...or the thinline? Are they only for '01+ models?

[glocati]

the Predator Ice is a light source upgrade for factory AEs 01+. The Thinlines and Predator Chromiums are add on rings for pre 01 headlights.

Thanks for the clarification. Do I need to replace my entire headlight assambly if I want AEs? If thats the case, I think I'll stick w/ my OE's.

Well, you can go that route with either the OEM Hellas which are spendy or go with an aftermmarket projector type like DEPO P39's etc. which are also a full headlamp assembly replacement.

OR

you can go with the rings that you can add to stock pre 01 headlights. That's what i did, I added the Umnitza brand (called Predator Chromiums) of CCFL rings on my stock 2000 headlights.

here's a couple of pics to give you an idea

No that i am aware of. I know you are able to change the light source that lights up the rings on the factory AE's. Do not have any personal experience however.

what version are those lights? I like the yellow look but I thought everything uminizta sold was that blueish hid type look.

Army, they are the "3000K OEM" Color. Thx Greg

good question. I bought these from http://www.umnitza.com/product_info.php?cPath=450_26_94&products_id=1095

and I upgraded to the preditor ice AE's.

[sunnywala]

yup they are



Clear Euro Corners

[e39dream]

they look like the euro hella angel eyes.

IMO those OEM led ring color upgrades are a major waste of cash- no one but you will appreciate them and although most claim to be daylight visible they look weaker than OEM during the day. OOOOHH- my headlights are a shade of blue and my rings are amber- what on earth is a girl to do??

[328i e46]

I want to get my blinker cleared, what do i have to do to get that done??

[e39dream]

a search might help you with the blinker. look for stealth bulbs.

true but that's the only person who matters when it comes to my car:) at night they look so much better tho....

[e39dream]

I guess it comes down to personal taste and budget. I am happy to have OEM rings in mine.

We JUST finished our Predator ICE install guide:

I JUST ordered a set of ICE yesterday!

I was trying to access your install guide but the link seems broken (and on the web site too).

These should be completely plug-and-play now right?

No more splicing?

[umnitza]

because I can't remember PDF versus DOC :rolleyes: my bad :D

wait - comcast turtles - "Sorry, and/or my bad"
