Hi there,

I ordered my PICE about a week or so ago for the X5. I'm just reading through this thread again to see if i've missed something and it seems that I have.

I was one of the group buy with Solkatr on bmwland for the E39 PICE and after that experience I was determined to have the same (or better) look on my E53. The thing that is worrying me now is that you may have sent me a 3w kit.

The website offers only Standard at $149.99 whereas umnitza offer 'high output' at $199.99. I'd have happily paid the $199 if it was on your website. Should I have ordered from Umnitza direct or am I panicing unnecessarily. I didn't want 'true blue' or 'red' . Just high output.

Let me know guys, I'm not so excited about the thing arriving now as I am worrying.

My order
Order Number: 8185

TIA

Kevin.


Whats going on here guys. I hope I'm not getting old stock!

Hi Kevin,

There are two versions available, the 3w standard output and 5w high output. At the moment, we only carry the 3w as it is more than a significant upgrade over OEM. Based on customer feedback, we found that most were more than satisfied with the 3w vs. 5w and found the $50 difference to be negligible. You are certainly not getting old stock, just two different versions

what is the wiring like? DO any of the wires need to be spliced, cut, or tapped into for it to work correctly? Does anyone have a picture of them installed? I have 2005 4.8is

[jlevi]

You just splice your OEM wires.

Mine have just arrived !

So just to be 100% clear on the wiring.

Take the Red (+) Spade connector of the PIce on the left and tap into the Grey/Green - and the Black (-) into one of the browns.

Then take the Red (+) spade connector of the Pice on the right, and tap into the Grey/Blue on the Loom and the Black (-) into one of the browns.

I haven't checked yet, but does the old AE bulb and holder just come away completely and get stored for future re-fit. Are there contacts on the bayonet that no longer get used (ie. when the original wiring runs to).

I'll take plenty of before and after pics. May even get chance to do it tonight if I get a clear reply to the above by then.

Cheers.

Kev.

ps. Now I want to get the fogs and high-beam to match. Can anyone suggest the right bulbs please.

Although my front bumper is facelift - I fitted my old pre-facelift bulbs. What are these? H3 or H11? Same question for the high-beam, though of course these are the facelift bulbs so what do I need to replace them with? Thanks in advance.

[jlevi]

That's correct. The bulb holder is replaced by ours, and the OEM connectors are no longer used.

For high beams and xenons, I suggest our Predator Xenix bulbs
