I paid about $700 for Depo headlights from Umnitza, and I had to fight in order to get my money back when they kept failing and the AE's weren't the correct size. Plus, there were 2 sets of AE's installed on the headlights, one from the Depo factory, the other (predator orions) that were made for a different vehicle because they didn't fit quite right on my car.

Also, they didn't send a wire harness, and told me to tap the AEs into my fogs for a cheesy Mickey Mouse type of install.

I'll pay $1,000 to not deal with Umnitza.

Gee... and I thought what Umnitza had sent me was the worst. They didn't send the harness to me and said exactly the same thing about tapping in to the fogs.

Eh.. its all in the past now..

Lets look forward. There's a great, strait forward solution here from the vendor listed on this thread.

Did anyone else complete this install?? Any tips for the AE's?

Goodluck bud! The lights themselves are easy to install, so don't let him charge you too much. The tough part is the AE install, which you will not need to perform right away in order for the lights to work. In other words, if your mechanic can't do the AE install, then you can take the harness off for now and just enjoy the headlights and clear corners. If he can install the AE's, ask him to write a DIY guide
