Hey guys! Look what FedEx brought me.....

Hey guys, so pumped on these depo's. I got them this afternoon. I was only able to get one installed(driver's side) because I ran out of daylight and I knew it was going to be a pain with the CAI.

And unfortunately my garage is a park job only type of garage. Gotta finish tomrw. And let me tell you how much of a b**ch it was with my CAI in the way. That thing is outy's very soon. I had to play with it for some time, I ended up just taking out the support plate where the air filter connects in between the ram. What a pain.

Anyway, as soon as I finish I'll be sure to post some final product pics for sure.

Depo Gen IV, 35w 8000k, Orion V2 AE's. I also picked up some new corners and chrome bulbs for the heck of it. I hope they turn out great.

Cheers.

Thanks Chitaliano....

Finally made the purch. after much contemplation and I must say as does everyone..... what a difference! The AE'S alone are 6000k. Im very happy with them.

What up Brenden, yeah I ended up going with Umnitza's version. I've heard alot of neg. feedback with these guys. But they were very friendly and super fast ship. A little pricey but quality is not cheap.

Hey thanks James,

Hopefully there will be no problems...besides my bloody dinan ram. haha yeah those V2's are gnarly, I originally called up wanting ccfl chromiums. And he sold me on the LED's. At least they'll last for a very long time....

I would recommend buying from Umnitza to anyone in search of buying a proper headlight upgrade.

Hey I have a question for the tech wizards.

I would like to wire my AE's to be on by themselves. During the install you must splice the grey wire into the parking lamp wiring harness. Leaving blu/grn & brown wires untouched.

If I cut this wire(grey) completely out from the turn signal relay, will it allow my AE's to turn on by themsleves with parking light position on, but still have the blinkers working when I need to actually make a turn?

P.S. Ive done my homework with regard to wiring AE to fuse box (grey/purp) or to other sources to accomplish this, but I am trying to avoid all that work.

Thanks everyone.

i've been wondering the same thing. are you going to have the AEs has day lights?

BMW_Hatchback · 02-18-2010, 06:29 AM

congrats you'll be seeing better in no time!

**ChItalian1027** · 02-18-2010, 08:49 AM

you have a cold air intake right? did you have to modify that to get your lights in?

Yes, in fact you can splice them into a wire underneath your fuse box so that they are on constantly. But I dont really want to mess with the fuse box. Or the glove box mod.

So I was just wondering if you can just cut the hotwire from the turn signal connector. I am assuming that grn/blue makes it blink and everyone knows brown or black is the ground.

But if you cut the gry, when you turn the parking lights on it should'nt come on and yet still have the ability to blink.

hmmmmm.........I really dont want to just go cutting wires.

Oh you have to, there is no way. Umnitza says euro ellipsoids will fit with Dinan CAI. And it does......but it really does require one to employ extreme patience.

It is an Extremely tight fit, I almost thought I wasnt going to be able to make it work. I have heard of some poeple just giving up and selling their lights, which scared me.

Here is a pic of the drivers side headlight assembly installed. As you can see it is a little out of place, with over a 1/2 hr. adjusting this is the best I could do, it's that tight.

**ChItalian1027** · 02-18-2010, 07:22 PM

oh ok, i was hoping i wouldn't have to but i guess i will. i can live with the drivers light be a little out of place

I do'nt understand this whole headlight rage.
