    BOSCH AL MM E36 Euro Projector Headlights Pre-Order

    A long time ago, we used to buy BOSCH lights, recently a new supplier has offered to us to sell those same BOSCH lights - but now they are called Magneti Marelli or Automotive Lighting. Same great lights, same quality, just a different stamp.

    We will be able to offer all the same options for these lights as we have for the ZKWs:

    The pre-orders will be limited to the first 10 people.

    If you have any questions, please email info@umnitza.com

    Interesting. And good price... I may jump on a set of these in the near future. Will you be carrying them in stock, or pre-buy only?

    Depends on the success of the preorders. If successful we will start stocking them.

    All depends on how well this group/pre-order buy goes.
    We're getting 5 units shipped in 5-10 days, for now, just to test the waters to the first 5 that have already purchased. Then we'll see.

    I'm interested. What's involved for the install? Plug and Play? What's the total price shipped to 01824?

    Plug and Play is an option on the link, yes. It's a plug and play from Euro to USA, if you have a euro connector already you won't need it, and in theory you could probably make your own for about the same or a little less $. Shipping is calculated on the web site directly.

    we have not yet started, the first group of them are just now getting compiled and shipped to us.
    There is 1 order for sure for FXR, but not sure if there is another.
    We'll know when they land here in about 10 days.

    Ok, but HOW are they being mounted? Epoxied, bracket, cut and screw, etc?

    When we get there, we'll know it's possible they will be bolted in, it's possible we'll use a TRS retroquick kit, it's also possible we'll grind and dremel and fit it with epoxy.

    We've already become a TRS/Morimoto dealer/distributor, so we will use the best combination for this project as we move forward.
    And on that topic, watch in the next couple of weeks when we launch a new web site, for a special discount on all TRS products as introductory pricing for the site comes into play just in time for black friday etc.

    We've received more orders than expected on these lights.
    As a result, the initial batch had to be increased several times. As a result, what was immediately available was not sufficient. Together with the distribution agent, we decided to save money on the shipping by including as many as we could get right away. We are sorry to report that the delay to get the rest is 10 days.
    Over 20 sets of lights will be in our hands on Thanksgiving, and we'll begin shipping that date (on or about). All shipments will be expedited as quickly as possible except for those that have "builds".

    Sorry for this delay. We'll do everything we can to expedite.

    they staggered the shipments, we received 6 today, another 15 coming next week, and the final 10 or so after that.
    Sorry for delays, a few of you will get tracking today.

    Interested. I’d like a projector retrofit but don’t know what the differences between them are. What’s the best one?

    You have PM regarding this group buy.

    We've run into a few snags on delivery but more are arriving late next week, then more 2 weeks after that.

    BUYERS BE WARNED!

    Ordered these lights directly from them on 10/18 for full price and did not ask to be part of Group Buy. Paid $775.00 and was told they will ship the next week.

    After a month was told they are waiting for Group Buy to fill up, I explained I’m not part of the Group Buy. They said they’ll get to the bottom of this and call me. Nothing.

    Another month goes by and I inquire again, was told my order is being finished up and will ship Wednesday. That was two weeks ago.

    Thank God for my Amex. Disputed charges and now I’m gonna make my rounds at all the forums.

    Don’t let the broken promises and order updates fool you.

    I can only assume your name is Dario.
    We've been trying to reach your 972 number pretty much since you called, the one we have on file goes to fast busy every time we call it.

    We've had your headlights disassembled for a few days but we've run into a snag that we wanted to discuss with you but could not.

    When we originally listed the options on our site for the G5-L projector retrofits we were doing, we had plenty of D1S bulbs in stock and adapters/ballasts.
    Currently, we don't have any and are awaiting a shipment of those as well.
    We've got another bixenon finished for another customer with FXR V4 - which are super close in output and are a little more flexible in terms of ballasts and bulbs but wanted your verbal go ahead to ship those.

    The label is generated and ready as of today.

    Please do get back to us as soon as you get your PM/Email/this note.

    Additionally, here's the delivery progress of the next batch of BOSCH units landing here:

    More excuses and more promises. Even until today the product we are discussing says "IN STOCK" as it did when I ordered on their website.


    BUYERS BE WARNED! Continued ...

    I'm somewhat relieved you don't have my number entered correctly, I refuse to communicate with you privately as my two months of doing that got me nowhere.

    You claim you've been trying to call me since a month ago but have not reached out to me via email (the way we have been communicating) to tell me anything until I go public.

    BUYERS DO A SEARCH

    You will see multiple threads where they have blamed shipping, wrong part numbers, overwhelming people trying to order, yada, yada, yada

    They just now sent me a "SHIPPED" email to buy more time, it is not actually shipped but rather they made a shipping label which means absolutely nothing. Again, do a search they've done this shipping label maneuver on other threads and customers have waited weeks after ...

    I'm sorry you feel the way you do. I'm more than happy to deal with this issue with you reasonably. I don't really want to argue back and forth, please feel free to call in and let's discuss. 877 486 6489

    The phone number we have for you is the one you gave us on your order, it says it's no longer in service. So please consider giving us a call.

    And yes, the label was in fact generated because we just had the latest shipment arrive and the other customer was ok with waiting a couple more days.
