hello everyone, i was curious if anyone on here knows the size of the halo rings for our headlights in mm i believe...also does anyone know where i can buy halo rings besides umnitza and not just in white and blue...looking for a 6000k -8000k effect. thanks guys.

 

The E46 pre-facelift CCFL and LED angel eyes will work fine.

 

not to step on toes but.. your positive of this even though you have an I and not a max?,.. just curious if you have personal experience from this or going off what you have read,.....also.. bump.. can anyone confirm this?

so your saying these fit?...

??

 

so the BMW E46 angel eyes will fit the 02-03 headlights well? is that what you did?

 

I know for sure because this isn't the first time someone asked "can I use any other angel eyes besides Umnitza". Other people have confirmed this like The Law, and if you ever compared the 02-03 reflector to the actual ring you'll understand why they fit well.

 

i understand other rings will fit but im making sure i buy the right rings befor i open the headight. also i cant seem to find rings in an 8000k cathode...mostly all of them are just WHITE

 

All CCFL are default 6000K white, 8000K is usually ordered. Do you have 02-03 OEM HID headlights or the eBay projectors in your avatar?

 

i have the 02-03 headlights waiting to be customized big guy

 

not to hijack here, but are you aware of halos that can be used to replace the halos in Ebay non-projector lights? (ie http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-01...Q5fAccessories)

 

I used these for my retrofit:

Im not sure what size the rings need to be for OEM 02-03 housings but if you can find out then you can either order the needed size from retro solutions offerings or get them to make you a custom sized set....

All the kits come with 2 extra ballasts (1 ballast powers 2 rings) and the rings are very bright. IMHO they are an excellent alternative to much higher priced umnitza kits

 

still lookinf for an 8000k look

 

By 8k do you mean white with a blue tint?? If so good luck its hard to find an exact color but you can try the place I got mine from.

so .. ill bring this back up... does anyone know the exact size in MM of the needed halos.. should be 2 diff sizes.... i already opened my headlights once for the clear corner and i dont want to do it to measure.. HELP

 

bump

 

what sizes did you need for the headlights you had on your max? 95mm and 105mm??

 

i can vouch for the prefacelift e46. i have them installed on my car.

 

are these them?

those are for projector headlights. not sure if that would fit. prefacelift means nonprojector. those are the same box that i got mine in though. you gotta trim the tops of those where the plastic peice goes across and they dont fit perfectly. theres a lil bit of overlap with these. not worth the time imho. keep looking for different setups. also check bimmerforums. theyre sponsors carry angel eyes that will work

 

Prefacelift means pre 2002 for sedans and 2004 for coupes. Actually prefacelift sedan, coup, projector, non-projector, and facelift sedan are the same. I only said make sure to get prefacelift so you don't accidentally get facelift coupe ones which are completely different.

 

alright...sounds goooddd

 

CCFL is so 2 years ago now



The Orion V2 for Maxima (with the correct sized rings now available) are the newest offering:



More with daytime visibility.

 

Go with Umnitza, they look the best.

 

I have an '02 SE with HID lights. are the bmw angel eyes the best to go with? The umnitza site doesnt show any angels for the max...
