Umnitza Rings

Got a question for everyone.

Which is better v2 or v4?

I already know how they stack up spec wise, the v4 has twice as many leds, etc. The reason I'm asking is because there's still so many people getting v2s and I'd like to know why.

I put in V4s on my sedan. I was shown them side by side with the V2 and the V2 looks so much dimmer. If I were you and had the money I would go with V4s. I'm pretty sure there are more than one size available as well because I have a 9x and 11x according to umnitza.

They also look different. V2 rings have a beaded look...which some prefer.

I went there in person and got a hook up. Was knocked down to the price of the V2s. Otherwise I think it's like 350 or something.

Oh yeah I think I saw your car on facebook one time. I did ask Simon? About installing rings. The difference between my pre-lci car is the rings would over lap. LCI's are spaced apart.

I saw my friend's prelci lamps and yeah that overlap of the halogen bowls seem really difficult to work with. Maybe it is time for you to get some LCI halogens to play with.
