I got mine yesterday too... Are all 4 rings the same size? I thought a pair of them were supposed to be smaller diameter like the old CCFL ones were...

I did the Home Depot clear lens back when I installed my Umnitza DDE's they work out very well... Im going to do the same with my new Headlights. You're supposed to get those Malibu replacement lights.

 

ya know...i just realized...there wasn't ANYTHING SPECIAL in my box

What'd u use from home depot to 'clear' the lens. do they have something that we can cut to put in?

and yea..they're all the same size-supposedly the low beam one sits a bit inside the round housing.
Not sure yet tho-anyone done these (or umnitza chime in) and know for sure?

 

OH YEAH!!! there was nothing special in my box either! except for the 3M Tape strips... is that the special gift?

 

Sorry guys We were going to include some keychain LEDs, and we ran out.

 

Yeah you cut out the middle of the Malibu Lens to the same size as the Orange lens in your headlight. The orange lens simply pops out and if you cut the clear lense out to the same size it just pops right in. Matches up pretty nicely to the prking light lense right above it.

 

I received mine yesterday. A led keychain was inside the box, really bright. Thanks Umnitza.

 

Hey! Where's my led keychains?

 

geez....i didnt have any 3M tape either. im not loved

jk..i picked up some 60 second epoxy-it ought to hold 'em

 

i just did a search but found nothing...is this something they carry in sheets, whats the deal with malibu lens. Sorry but the turn clearing is new to me and im just a little 'unclear' ahahaha

no seriously i only see like landscape and spot lighting

 

Yup they are outdoor lights... Here these are exactly the ones you need https://www.smarthome-products.com/p...bs-2-pack.aspx

You'll just need to cut them.

 

Just want to clarify how these install. You just place the tape on the high beam ones, then place on the outside? How does that work on the low beam ones if they go slightly inside?

 

I was curious about that also since there no instructions and the install is different from the Predator thinline instructions on the website.

 

this is true-i plan on doin these this weekend

-Umnitza: whats the process you guys used for mounting the same sized rings?
Thanks!

 

We usually use masking tape and glue, glue the rings in, hold for 30 seconds with masking tape, let dry, shake the light before re-install

 

Installed on Sat-took about 3 1/2 hrs. only hiccups i had was shearing off the two bolts holding in the drivers headlight. heres some pics!
The hard part...



The payoff-camera does NO JUSTICE for these. im gonna try it with the wifeys (these were on my cell)

 

How did you install them? Using the 3M stuff that came with them or what? What did you do for the low beam one (someone said that you have to put it slightly inside?)?Looks pretty sweet though!

Did you do any of the optional stuff and wire them to a switch inside?

 

Ok, well mine did NOT come with 3M. I picked up some 60 second self mixing epoxy at home depot. The high beam is an absolute perfect fit but as we now know the low beam is tricky (a little). It kinda sits just inside the housing so i epoxied the two ends and the bottom middle then held it steady. There ended up being about a 1 mil gap around the ring (in some spots) so i just filled some of the space with a little more epoxy and voila.

For trigger wires i just used the included quick splices and tapped right into the parking light power on the headlight plug (red wire w/yellow stripe) I can take addl pics of the wiring if needed. So this way they are on whenever the park lights/headlights are one. Looks mean with just rings and fogs. It was a little chilly and i just wanted to be done so i said screw the switch (which was my original intention).
...and thanks,
I love em

 

Were you honestly prepared for how bright these are?

 

ill be honest..no

they are clearly visible from over 100 yards in direct sunlight...thats what 240 LED's will do i guess
-nice product

 

They look really nice. More pics of the wiring, especially in the back. Thanks.

 

the red thread denotes the wire paths i used. Ill try to get some other pics this afternoon.

 

More pics!
This is the tap into parking light power

heres the small circuit board inside the dustcap (you can see i highlighted the 4 connectors-its hard to see)

This is my relay and other wiring

[IMG][/IMG]Has anyone done this install with the DataDot mounted HID's? Im interested but am timid to try to take apart the front of my car to get the headlights out w the extra mounting bracket. ShiftIce did not provide a install guide for this "uninstallable" lights. Is it obvious im still a newbie?

 

I know I already thanked ya but wanted to thank you on here as well. Thanks for all the pics!!

 

 

assuming you meant me...no problem and good luck.

But we love you too umnitza

 

newb doesnt mean anything..the willingness to try new things and LEARN is what makes you not a 'newb'

of course..there are exceptions

to answer ur question..i have no idea-no anti-theft kit here

 

Still can't get over the crappy fitment of the low beam.

 

Hey umnitza,

How much would it cost me for a set of these installed? (I'm local)

Thanks !

 

$200 for install.

 

Is this Tim? I've talked to you over the phone once. Is this who I call about this deal, and how long will it last?

 

read the last two pages...its been extended through february.
just make sure you mention its for the group deal through maxima.org

 

Did read the last two pages, that's why I was referring my question to Tim. Wasn't sure if that was a set deal or not since February is almost over.

 

these fit 01 ae?
<- Stupid noob

 

Negative sir, you would have to get 5.5 (02-03) headlights like the ones posted above.

 

2002-2003 headlights only.

 

Yeah the original pics that Umnitza had posted of that black Maxima.. thats my car. I originally had the Thinline Angels in my car.. Were great at first, but you notice that they are only noticeable AT NITE.. Plus the electrical connections were not solid enough and they were too easily detached from the halo itself.. What a headache.. The New V2s.. BLOW THE THINLINES OUT OF THE STADIUM. Damn near unbreakable (within reason) and ALL LED! I wouldnt waste your on the time with the Thinlines anymore. Go V2.. The way BMW drivers look at you when u roll up on them... OOHH So Worth It!!!! Umnitza takes great care of us here on the org. Very knowledgeable and always willing to help.

 

Couldnt say it better.....BMdub owners have been eyeing these bad boys up like michael jackson at a pre-school.

I actually had a 4th gen owner at the turkey hill ask me what model it is...i told him 'built, not bought man'. then i referred him here-he hadnt heard of it-then i had to explain the internet as a series of tubes

 

so what was the final price on these...i need them...lol

 

see their website at www.umnitza.com

they're $189 retail.

if you jump on this really quick they may hook you up with the GD price-tell em you're from maxima.org and cross yo fingers
