"Not at all. Just whoever said that probably compared a special order 8000K unit for someone to the Orion V4.

I love that you guys continue to tell me about what I own and you dont.

As far as Installation. Yea umnitza isnt that great. Just because they have been doing older style headlights doesnt make them pros at ours.
As far as OSS- Im not too impressed with their methods personally either.

I'm not telling you anything about what you own, I could care less what you have. I have firsthand experience dealing with Umnitza's rings, and talk to Luis regularly. I can't understand how you would think differently when Umnitza, OSS, and my experience says otherwise.

Opening a headlight is all the same, it dousn't matter if it's an e46 or an e92. You are baking it open and resealing it. It dousn't vary per car. If you don't like OSS's method then you shouldn't do it yourself or have anyone else do it, because they will do the same thing Luis does.

yeah i got most of the same responses from them, but they didn't mention the use of different style LED between the v2 and the v4. however, they said output is between 5800k and 6500k, nowhere near the purple hue that Gugs was talking about (although he was right about the use of different LED's)...

still probably going with the V2 since it hides the gap better and looks more beaded/aggressive. prob gonna do it at lightmodz.

Just a quick question, why did everyone who installed OSS angel eyes not mention that the lights are purple in their detailed reviews? It's a pretty significant thing to overlook

Just going by what I was told by Umnitza and OSS buddy. Looks as if Umnitza said something different this time, depends on who you talk to I guess.

Jetblack, they have a blue/purple hue to them, but are white.

I have heard the purple shows up more so in photos. But have never seen them in person. And frankly, I like that it might have a slight purple hue because the the new Angels on the 6, 3, x3 etc have slight purple hues to them on the road. And I like it.
