P53's trial and error... finally paid off

[zacman]

About a year and a half ago I set out to find a new headlight solution. The best answer I could find led me to purchasing a set of Projector 53’s… That in its self is a small book of info for the do’s and don’ts… Ultimately I ended up getting in contact with Umnitza and placed an order for the new headlights and AE’s. I spent the next year consistently returning the headlights due to defects. I would install the P53’s on the X and within a few days they would fill with moisture from the inside and on one occasion an AE ring fell from its mount. Needless to say this was not the solution I was looking for. However the crew at Umnitza continued to work with me in order to solve this problem, on almost every occasion they fronted the shipping so I could un-install the headlights and send them back to Cali. Throughout this daunting process Umnitza and I decided that I would be a perfect candidate to serve as their guinea pig as they worked through some of the common problem with the P53’s, IE moisture build up, AE failure, and in finding a quality supplier for the housing… And now after a long awaited process I have finally been supplied with a QUALITY FINISHED PRODUCT! Not only do I feel that I have received a top notch product but I would like to go on record and let all of our forum members know that regardless of different threads that can be resurrected using the search function in regard to Umnitza and their business/quality practices, I am here to tell you that I have been treated extremely well and although it took some patience and understanding on my part I feel that Umnitza did what was right by me. I gave them the opportunity to turn their back on me and “live up to the expectation set forth in my reading” and to the contrary I feel like they really took care of me. Whatever profit was made on my initial purchase was used at least twice over to cover all of the shipping charges to and from the Umnitza shop.
And now for the pics!! Installed in the P53’s are the latest and greatest in aftermarket Angel Eyes, Orion V2’s, these things are so bright in contrast to anything else I have seen, I get comments on a regular basis about how sharp they look (and not by the ricer crowd). This headlight and AE combo give the X a super updated and sophisticated look… but that is just me… take a look for yourself…
The OE comparison is with a 2003 5 series...
