Could you just clarify a few things though mate. How do you rate the build quality compared to the stock lights? Do they have a glass frount cover, some of the American ones have plastic which gets all pitted & cloudy. Also when you get them adjusted, let us know if they work, ie. can you see where your going cheers fella | | | 01-29-2006, 07:23 PM | #49 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: England, UK Posts: 1,288 | Already i can see they are ALOT brighter and i haven't got a HID kit yet. Len's are glass and the build quality seems good. they fit perfectly where the old one went. Umnitza fitted the angel eyes and sealed the lens with silicone sealant whcih was handy __________________ 1995 BMW 316i Cosmos Black Mods: • Magnex Cat-Back Exhaust • Smoked Corner Lights + Repeators • M3 17" Wheels • De-Baffled Air Box • AC HandBrake Handle and Gear Knob • DEPO Euro Epsiloids + Predator Chronium Rings • Chrome Interior bits •IE Poly-Urethane RSFMs • Kenwood Power Series Audio • Powder Coated e36 325 Front Callipers • Sports Seats | | | 01-29-2006, 07:25 PM | #50 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | so what fogged then if they were already sealed?

EDIT: are you going to take it to the shop for the install of the new kidney grills? | cheeky git!!! the Stoneguard is a Lamin-x sheet for each headlight. it takes a few days/weeks after application for any moisture behind the film created during the application to dry out. Got it as the only reason i changed the stocks was a stone went through one of them..... so it was a definate must.... __________________ 1995 BMW 316i Cosmos Black Mods: • Magnex Cat-Back Exhaust • Smoked Corner Lights + Repeators • M3 17" Wheels • De-Baffled Air Box • AC HandBrake Handle and Gear Knob • DEPO Euro Epsiloids + Predator Chronium Rings • Chrome Interior bits •IE Poly-Urethane RSFMs • Kenwood Power Series Audio • Powder Coated e36 325 Front Callipers • Sports Seats | | | 01-29-2006, 07:34 PM | #52 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Watford, herts, England Posts: 805 | Quote: Originally Posted by stormos Got stoneguards on now which aren't the pic which makes the lights look slightly foggy but should clear in few days/weeks. had the hair dryer outside for an hour!! crap lookin grill going in bin soon! black one due for arrival VERY soon. | that grill is blingin! ive had a look on the umnitza website and although you can change the prices into £'s how do you work out shipping? did you order them from umnitza direct or through a UK supplier? __________________ '96 318ti in Montreal Blue :m-tec sideskirts,m-bootspoiler,clear corners & repeaters .m-tech side mouldings, Magnex Exhaust System, leather armrest, F-15 gear Knob, 18" Evo 2's.
