What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[09mageec]

Removal of the HID Angel eyes was the 2nd thing I did to my M3 the day I did the oil change. They look so stupid on cars they don't belong on or come factory on. Halogen ones FTW keeping it OEM.

This....
I have always wanted to find the right Halogen ones. I currently have the really bright, ice white ones from Umnitza (Orion V2 I believe), and I have never really been 100% happy with them. Where can you find a quality set of Halogen/OEM colored ones!!??

How much do these wheels weigh relative to 135's?? They look great btw

I think they are 25lbs for the 18x8.5's which I am running square vs. the 135 that weights 28ish lbs for the 18x8.5

I don't think there is a quality aftermarket angel eye anywhere. I know my buddy Alec (hi its me alec) on the forums had halogen ones for years but they aren't working any more.

Perhaps Umnitza Orion V2's? They offer gold (which I would imagine is close to OE color?) or amber as well...
Check out the color options in the dropdown.

Cold cathode tubes were the closest match to the original at the time but I don't think anyone makes then anymore. They weren't that reliable... especially in colder climates

I think that's what he has. They probably have been on his car since 06-07

I'm sure you can find them oem Amber k (3000 likely). Doubt they'll be halogen though. The trouble is with aftermarket the actual rings light up. With the oem angel eyes the bulb inside the headlight unit reflects into a clear glass ring. It's a much larger process than just some rings with led lights in them or at the ends of them on some models.

Bought my ZHP a new best friend. 2001 MX5 LS - stock other than bar, seat, and harness. I hope to build it into a competitive TTE car.

Just before I saw this I was on their site (which is confusing to navigate BTW), and tracked down those colors, 'Gold', 'Amber'. Neither of them have many detailed pictures, or any photos of them on a vehicle. So I contacted them, and am waiting to hear back.

The Gold is looking more like what I want, but I need to see some pics first, and maybe track someone down for a review. I also asked them, since I already have the wire harness all set up on my car currently (running the Orion V2 6000k), would I be able to just order the rings themselves for a plug and play application to what's already installed. They are the same make/company as far as I am aware. And both 'colors' are LED. The rings separately plug into a little beige box before all the harness bits come into play anyway... Sound like a viable option to you??
