I say dont return. PLay with projector a little.
I had to cut a new shield-- made it super blue/ purple at the cut off. Next thing is to black out chrome bezels. It is a project, something to do; show your creative side.
The only real problem with smart boys was that the product on the pic was nothing close to rice received. The rest was procedural stuff :-)

$800 is a lot of money to "play" with.

I agree with markesq. When you mod your car you want high quality- long lasting products. Why settle for anything less? ESPECIALLY if your paying big bucks.

Hey man I have been following this thread for a while now and realized that you should end all of your business with Umnitza now. Return the product. You paid $800 for the P53 which are Depo made headlights. They sent you cheap headlights that cost $200 dollars. The ones they sent you can be purchased from ebay. Here is the Link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-...mZ230303364700

What you want to buy are the Depo made headlights P53. You do not need anything from Umnitza. They sell them on ebay. It is the exact headlight you wanted, unless you wanted Umnitza to change something inside. Here is a link to the headlights you need.

The big question is - Is the headlight you received a DEPO unit?

This information is inaccurate.

E53 headlights made by DEPO sell on eBay for $440 minimum.

These lights do not include HID, international shipping, or upgraded angel eyes (all of which would add up to about $800).

E53 Headlight made by the company SONAR on eBay - which is what we used are also not $200, and since they are not available on ebay. The two links above are for similar lights but those are made in China and are knock-offs that look exactly the same. The knock offs are $230-250, and do not include higher output angel eyes, xenons, or international shipping.

Simon and I are working it out now.

The ones on ebay do include the HID system and even if the headlights you sent him are not cheap knockoffs then they should have not broken in a few weeks.

Why are the headlights advertised as DEPOs on your page?

Item Description: http://www.umnitza.com/index.php?cPath=450_484_26_478

Title:
Projector53 DEPO DOT/US Ellipsoids
2 Headlights STANDARD (aka 1 PAIR) - Driver's and Passenger's Light

Quality issues aside - this is a clear case of bait and switch.

Your posting is a clear case of sticking your nose where it does not belong.

Why do you have so much time to worry about what we do and don't have on our site? And also, why do you insist on changing our product information to suit your agenda for slander?

When it affects the members of a forum we have actively sponsored for some time - it becomes our problem.

Simon will be able to chime in from here. If he did receive a DEPO headlight, I'll delete my post. The screenshot I took of your product page before my last post seems to prove otherwise. The last post was a direct cut and paste from your site, I see it has already been changed.

btw - the correct term is libel, not slander.
