Where do u buy your own pieces to headlights?

N0OS3 · 12-30-2011, 08:24 AM

So... i was thinking; i can get ahold of some standard E90 halogen (no angle eyes) headlights for dirt cheap.

---> Is there a website that just sells the individual pieces like the LED turn signals (the panel, not bulb replacement), or euro reflector replacement, different LED rings in different lengths/diameters, and good quality projector? I'm sure not all of the good quality products are in the same place but i can still order different pieces at a time and figure out my own setup (instead of being limited to the options available from vendors).

I'd like to fiddle around with this idea myself instead of waiting ages for one of the popular companies to schedule me in to take my $700+ for the work.

For rings umnitza or oneighty.

You won't be able to find euro reflectors unless you source damaged euro housings.

If you want projectors...theretrofitsource.com

Whatever you do, don't buy umnitza. For the record, the best quality and service for aftermarket LED rings are OSS and BavX.

What makes you say that?

Also, if you do some checking, you will find that there is a long list of people that have been/are being screwed by umnitza so I am doubting that the rest of these places are using them as a supplier.

Umnitza supplies OSS.

I have installed Orion v2s on a friends e 46. I don't have any complaints.

I guess it's hit or miss?

I think people who get pre-retrofitted assemblies from them may be having problems but if you source just the rings, you should be fine.

Lol. OSS uses Orions from Umnitza. I recently saw a set of headlights done by OSS, and they didn't sand/wipe off the Umnitza's U logo completely off of the ring. I lol'd.

BavX, I am not sure, but I get the feeling that their manufacture is the same.
