Angel eyes

[BATTLERATTLER]

I want to get some blue angel eyes for my 01' e38 but I want my DRL to match the color. Are there any options out there for DRL blue bulbs? Also is Umnitza really worth it? There are angel on ebay for 25 bucks. Seems like a ridiculous price difference compared to umnitza. Also, I can't seem to find any good threads about this, I'm sure it's already out there somewhere.

Get Umnitza, the best one, it's super high quality and worth every dollar. I think you will be unhappy with a cheap ebay knock off.

[BATTLERATTLER]

what about the DRLs? do I just pull out the bulb?

[JWalker]

You could tint the DRLs or shut them off.

Well I have AE's from BMWLED in my 01 740il for over a year with no failure. I've been extremely happy with them. Easily installed with no problems, I simply followed KOOLJESS's write up. If they hadn't been recommended by another forum member here I would have went with the Umnitza's brand.

Do they use the city light bulb over there for DRLs - in the US they use the bright lights at low power for them.....

AE's with fade on/off effects

I'm still debating AEs but those look slick Roy.

I like the amber joints.

This is my 50 dollar pair

I'm looking to do this myself this spring and found a set on Amazon for $50. I hope the installation is as easy as people say

DRL can be turned off

Turn off the DRL's with programming.

I bought $50 ebay LED AEs and I thought they would be crap considering I always bought top end $200 versions from other cars. I will tell you I love the ones I bought. Here is the link to mine, they are more white not blue but I wanted white. I cant tell you how happy I was with these especially for the price.

If you don't want that long wait for shipping from China, give the BMWLED boys in California a call.

[Hartge 635]

Im not sure if I want mine to be 7000k bright. Can they be dimmed or any other that aren't so bright?

7000 (k?) is just to the blue side and actually less light. If you go down to 4800 with the same lumens they would be brighter.......

Just a note - it doesn't look like this set comes with the 2 trigger set up.
But, that only matters if you ever want to be able to have your DDEs turn on when you lock or unlock your car.

It did have a secondary trigger for the corners. I never got around to hooking mine up.

Lot of people have them and there have been many pictures posted. Only problem I have heard of is that some say that some of the models are a little small for the opening.

Personnally I think its the best one out there.

i love my set they are awesome !

I bought some 'cheap' angel eyes and lights and had nothing but problems with them. I highly suspect they contributed to the failure of my light switch and given time I bet they would have caused more damage. I never regretted switching to a more quality product and was very, very happy with my Umnitza's. I haven't looked at the 2000+ model prices but most of their products are mid-point for a quality set of rings or lights.

Even if you don't opt to go with them at least pick a reputable brand/company in case you need support. I am not sure of any companies that would be suitable for your location though.

If you're going to go with angel eyes (the best term ), go with Umnitza, specifically the Predator Orion V2 LED kit.

I got the Orion V2's and am very happy. So far I have not seen anyone who doesnt like them...

I went with the umnitza AE's myself. I also suggest you buy new glass for the headlamps as well if you want them looking new.

i have the v2 on both my cars and the e46 and e38, they fit good,look good.
