We're actually having a sale on them :)
I've been very happy with Khoalty's product.
Droid X. Tapatalk. Use it.
thanks everyone :roundel
Nothing against Khoalty, all posts I've seen on here for them have been positive and I'm sure they have a great product, just want to cover other options as well. I recently got my Orion V2's from Umnitza and they are awesome, put them on this past weekend...love em. Good price, easy install, helpful staff even emailed me a DIY as well.
No worries about having a different opinion. No group think here. Thanks, Jeff.Quote:

I want them to be noticeable, but not too overly bright. I don't want them reflecting off of the housing and making it look blurry like I've seen in some pictures.
Here's what mine look like.

Mine are standard angel eyes that come with depos. ccfl. orange-ish and dim, but bright enough. Exactly what i wanted.
my 2c: Umnitza > Khoalty as far as customer service, I am not satisfied with Khoalty's attitude towards customers, Umnitza's Tim was courteous and professional, a bit more mature... As far as the product, I can't say because I canceled my Khoalty order and got the Predator Orion V2 instead, read much better reviews, but they are A LOT more expensive..
Output was perfect, imo. Bright, but no housing reflection in my case. Fitment was perfect as well.Quote:

I got my AE's at www.jlevisw.com just as a heads up.
Couldn't agree more here, I worked with Tim as well and he was awesome, and I only paid $160 fo rmine which I thought was fair. Not sure if that's a lot but in the scheme of things for these cars...that seems cheap to me.Quote:

Here's a better/bigger pic of them...

Nice pic and I love your car's color, mature yet aggressive.. Did you install the V2s yourself? If so, any tips?Quote:

Thanks, I love this color as well, my favorite car color. Yes I did install them (along with every single other light/lens in the car was replaced), it was actually pretty easy, not as bad as I thought it would be. I'm pretty handy mechanically, but electrical jobs always get me so I was a little worried. I used this DIY which is awesome, provided by the tech crew @ Umnitza. Be very careful when removing the headlight lenses, I broke two tabs on the black inner "housing" the first time I took them off. Take it slow, clip by clip. I found it easier to remove the airbox to get the rubber boot on/off the drivers side light as well, it's only 2 bolts and a hose clamp. Let me know if you have any other questions or want some more/better pics, it's no sweat.Quote:

Yeap, got that one "favorited" already. I am not getting the remote, is that for dimming or on/off? I want mine to be always on or on when the light switch is in the 2nd or 3rd position
This switch:

Not sure what the remote is all about honestly. I wired mine hot (always on), so they are on 100% of the time, cannot turn them off. Finally made it to the dealership yesterday to get the DRL's turned off so now it looks perfect. My DRL's were on in every setting unless I had the headlights on, it was annoying. Doesn't look like you have them on your 325 though so you'll save about $85.
you are correct, no DRL, how did you hot wire? here are the instructions that came with the AE: http://www.fastm.com/m3/angeleyes_orionv2.html
Step 4 in that DIY is the way I did mine, "always on".Quote:

i found ccfl angel eyes on ebay , do u recommend them ? and they are cheap 34.95
CCFL (cold cathode florescent light) are an older AE set up and the are suceptible to cold weather problems (not working) LEDs are much more in use now and are more stable in all temperatures (reliable). It's up to you, CCFL claim to be brighter, my only expierience is LEDs, sorry hope this helps
No.Quote:

EDIT: I should add that while I've not heard good things about CCFLs, my installer said that much of that can be attributed to the installer and that he wouldn't NOT buy CCFLs. Personally, I wouldn't due to the fact that it is somewhat older technology and does have more potential issues.
does Umnitza have the nearly full circle angel eyes ?
My umnitza predator v2 AEs are nearly full circle but the headlight bezel blocks part of it anyways.

can u send me a pic?
For the folks that installed the Umnitza AE's....what is this new fangled Night Control Technology? Did you guys purchase this option? What does it do???? In a scale of 1 -10, what is the rating of hardship on install? How long did it take? Was the install as what it is on the instructions? Any tips and/or specific precautions that we need to watch out for? Thanks.
Mr hish- I'll take a pic for you when I get home in about 30 minutes.
Das Boots- I did not order that option... Install is straightforward, especially for sedans. Just unclip lenses, clip on AEs, run wires over the headlight itself and out the rear grommet, run wiring from ECU to headlights and connect it and put the lenses back on.
Had I not gotten so confused and realized the connections come out of the little white box, making it much easier to run wires out the back of the headlight casing, I could have had it done in under an hour. Instructions are very clear as well.
Tips: Disconnect the wires from the white box, label them and run them out of the headlight then reconnect them.
The night control is about selecting 70% brightness at nighttime.Quote:
