Jlevi sucks! I bought the Umnitza Angel eye kit. Upon installation I cracked one of the rings by flexing it too much (AAARRRGGHHH!!! pain in the ass to bake those headlights twice!!). Anyway, I called them to say I needed a replacement ring immediately. I needed the bigger of the two rings. They charged me $48 shipped for a new large ring.

They took a few weeks to send it and in my frustration I started browsing on ebay. I forget the seller, but I found an ebay ad that had pictures of an angel eye kit with the various parts shown sitting atop the packaging.

The pictures of this ebay kit were identical to my $200 Umnitza kit. And this kit was only $60 shipped!!! Well to Jlevis credit, the ebay kit didnt include the wiring harness that allows the angel eyes to illuminate upon a door opening and when the car is started but all headlights/parking lights are off. But you could still hook this kit to the parking or fog lights and turn them on that way.

I ordered the $60 ebay kit just in case which ironically arrived the same day as the $48 Jlevi replacement ring. Here's the irony:

The Umnitza replacement ring was simply a neon tube, naked and unsheathed in the plastic. I was supposed to open the old plastic ring, take out the broken neon tube and replace it with the new. Additionally, the connector on the end was not the same so I would have had to splice a connector onto the end to plug into the ballasts.

The $60 ebay kit was 100% identical to the $200 "Umnitza" kit I received. The only difference was, as I said, there was no wiring harness included, the label on the identical ballast looked a little different and the box was a little smaller. But other than that everything including the very packaging was the same.

I wound up flexing another ring and breaking it upon installation so I had two ebay rings in one headlamp assembly and two "Umnitza" in the other.
The install came out great, there is absolutely no discernible difference in quality between the two and basically Umnitza GOT US ALL THAT BOUGHT THEIR KIT!!!

Then I had to fight with them to get my $48 back for the ring that I didnt use because I was saying it wasnt the same as the one that came in the package. Eventually they conceded but it was such a friggin hassle! Dont buy anything from them!!!

UMNITZA!!!
