Isn't Umnitza located in Norcal?

Also FYI to those who dont know, opening e90 headlights is much much harder than opening e92 pre-LCI headlights. For the sake of your headlights, your money, and your valuable time, make sure the installer that you're going to is familiar and knows to open e90 headlights (permaseal sealant) without messing up your lenses and headlight housing. I've personally seen a few failures from amateur installer that just swing it. Customers ended up with a ruined pair of headlights that get crazy condensation, and modules are killed.

Good luck!

Yeah, Umnitza is from NorCal. That's true, the guy who worked on my E90 headlights said that E92 headlights are easier. So far, I love the outcome of my custom headlights from Umnitza. I upgraded to Orion V4, blacked out the housing then told them to paint the projector shroud with limegreen.

no worries, they charged me for $950. The cool thing is, since I still need to drive my car, they lend me a temporary headlight to use for the 3 days that my headlight is at their shop. Which is nice so I didn't have to leave my car there or rent a car since the E90 is my only car.

Hey bro, I can't unfortunately, my car is in the shop due to a rear end accident. Next time I will be. But yes, I've heard a lot of mix reviews too regarding Umnitza, but since I had good service and product, I would lean towards the "good" side. LOL
