Anyone with Umnitza headlights?

Yes, on my 02 530i. Happy with them overall. Here's what I have:

Projector39 For 5 Series BMW Headlights E39 Hella Style with Orion LED Angel Eyes (97-03)

  • Angel Eyes: Orion V2
  • Clear film: No
  • Color: 5000K
  • Xenon: No
  • Bixenon projectors: No

Pros:

  • They look OEM
  • White reflectors made a big difference (orange reflectors are crap to me now)
  • Nice white color (I don't miss my OEM xenons)
  • Angel eyes much brighter than OEM

Cons:

  • They flicker on/off occasionally in daylight; kinda chintzy. (Installation issue?) Fixed by turning off momentarily then back to auto
  • Took over a month to receive (ordered around Christmas so maybe they were busy)
  • Umnitza customer service not helpful with questions and status inquiries

I self-installed. I'm not much of a mechanic and it took about half a day. Bit of a hassle with fit and wiring but no major issues and it's all good now.

They had a Black Friday sale last year and I paid $625 with shipping to California. Current cost is $675 so you could try calling them for a discount or take a chance and wait until Thanksgiving if the $50 difference is meaningful.

As I said, happy with them overall. Wish I'd done it a long time ago. If I did it again, though, I'd consider the Orion V4s.
