these headlights are the best!

(didn't buy from EAS though).

The angel eyes are super bright, pretty much a copy of the umnitza orions.

Color is offered in 7500K only, which will be a bit bluish as seen in the image.

History repeating itself:



These were selling at over $350 at one time, now they can be found for less than $40 - the markup on this "boutique item" was astonishing as it was the same product - only arriving in a different box. Umnitza does not engineer anything on their own with most of their items being sourced from China.

Orion V1 was quickly buried as soon as other companies began selling them in their original packaging (relabeled MYCARR product). The "Orion V2s" were all over at the ampa show in China last May in various booths for sale.

Now we have the option of having them already integrated within the stock DEPO housings - at no additional charge.

Lamps are $549 at the moment, everything needed is included assuming you are already equipped with HID and autoleveling.

Million Dollar question: Were you charged additional for the angel eye option?

no. i was charged $1 more. chrome turn signal bulbs and 8000k d2c bulbs were included. the 8000k d2c bulbs are crap though, but to my X5, any non-philips bulb is crap. i had a xenon issue for like a year and the whole time i thought it was the ballasts, turns out to be the aftermarket bulbs. put back OEM 4300k bulbs and 0 issues.

but yeah $549 is very fair. in my opinion these are worth more. if you need any installed pictures let me know! i got a new camera and i need stuff to take pictures of lol

If you've ever baked a set of these lenses off to install AEs before these were an option, I feel your pain.

Feel free to post pics, X5 owners have been asking for this solution for quite some time - any visual aids will help greatly.

Tom, I'd appreciate it if you can check with the supplier for the OEM look angel eyes. I know they have them. Check the pic below for my E46 (this is the color I want)

Depo quality is super on my E46 ...

Those are the older style DEPO halogen AEs, powered by (5) 194 bulbs, the reason for the different color temperature.
