What route did you end up taking? the lights on your 01 look nice!

Thanks! I did the bake and switch.. was tedious but LOVED the outcome. Too bad they are gone now - would have loved to have been able to sell them to a member on the site..

If anyone would like to know, I got the headlights in this morning and they look AWESOME. After 3 years of researching I FINALLY got what I was looking for. Now just the install, I'l have to do a bit more reading up to make sure to get it right.

I'll post pics soon. OH I should also mention that the guys at Umnitza made up for my lengthy wait time by offering cool loooking silver painted bulbs at a 3 for one deal.

If you guys get to see this, thank you. If I can build up my mod fund a bit more, I'll be giving you guys a call. THANKS

Hey all, so I attempted to install the headlights today, and I have a few questions, one being the size of the halo over the high beam. Check out the pics below, it seems strange to me that the halo over the high beam is the same radius as the halo over the low beam. I would think it should fit over the high beam perfectly. I called umnitza to ask about it and they said it was just the style of the Predator, but every picture i see of this type of headlight, each halo matches the redius of its respective "space"

My other question, i was able to remove my stock headlights just fine, the rest of it is just plug and play, except for just a few wires. One wire the aftermarket lights seem to lack is what seems to be the ground wire. The other wires that I cannot seem to find where goes are the wires coming from what i think is the halo on the low beam side. See the last picture below.

If anyone has ANY insight, that would be awesome!

Thanks

Oh man RPX5 those AEs are EFFED up! Those AEs are NOT supposed to be like that, at least I've never seen them like that. Those guys are trying to pull a fastone on you.

Where did you buy them .. please don't say Umnitza!

If you search many people tried and had probs with those HLs.

Lemme see if I can find a thread with wiring but I would not keep those HLs!

Twins, Richi and Zak have already sent tons of info and threads regarding Umnitza my way. I've been educated on the subject and product, and have been in contact with Umnitza, they will be getting the proper AEs soon and will pay shipping both ways to have them repaired to the normal look. In the meantime, i plan on installing them to make sure that condensation doesn't build up and that all other components work. I don't think I'll tap into the fog's just yet, maybe I'll wait on the CORRECT AE's before i get into all that fun stuff..
