    Yup, that's right. The fit is quite good, the tab locks are a bit fragile compared to oem and take more effort to "clip" in but after that it's fine.

    I found that it is best to remove your existing butyl, reapply, then lay the lenses.

    It is much quicker.

    correct, best to remove the butyl and/or permaseal for perfect fit.

    We do have a source for Hella made lenses but they don't come with chrome inserts, weather stripping, or the dust cap.

    Hey, I am looking to get some halos for my prefacelift 97 e39, are they plug and play? or would I have to do some modding? Sorry, i'm sure this has been answered before, but figured I'd ask the source.

    There are 3 stages for what you want:

    1) Just halos - inserted into your existing headlights:
    https://www.umnitza.com/angel-eyes-b...ngel-eyes.html <-- ok.
    https://www.umnitza.com/angel-eyes-b...th-remote.html <-- better
    https://www.umnitza.com/angel-eyes-b...6-e65-e38.html <-- best

    2) Halos WITH a new cover:
    https://www.umnitza.com/headlights-p...-ae-orion.html

    This is pretty limited to what is available - only with Orion V2 pre-installed.

    3) Full headlight replacement: (always our recommendation).

    You guys never revealed your permaseal removal technique.

    ...And whatever happened to the other angel eye bulb models. V5 / V6. Kinda of a shame it's just the old ice lite (3W) and top end ICE VXX (15W) with no middle ground anymore like the old days 6W/8W/10W.

    People were just getting confused. Right now the ICE VXX is on special for a 1 year warranty item at $89 - the V5/V6 would have been 59-69, so this is a no big deal upgrade at $20-30 more to get a much better quality unit.

    Additionally - we've simply been too busy to detail the work we do, we've got over 14 headlights back ordered for custom builds - check out our instagram - www.instagram.com/umnitza_official for the latest - and just don't have enough time to document the build process for permaseal removal on E39 lights...also the 1 customer that wanted us to do it decided not to.

    Cant find this on your site. All I see is $149.

    I’m local to you guys and just called and left you a message since I’d like to pull the trigger on the $89 deal.

    You guys aren’t picking up the phone for sales and haven’t returned my call after I left a VM.

    What’s your preferred contact method so I can get some questions answered and buy some stuff?

    Tim from Umnitza called me up and dialed me in. Nice guy!

    I’m stoked to finally replace my ECS LED angel eye bulb (really dim) with your ICE VXX.

    We've been able to secure 20 units but they will be slow boated over - so it will be about 20-40 days to get them.
    If you are interested to pre-order, we'll offer you free shipping on this order if you are a forum member.
