well I go our and look at my car. and what do my eyes gaze upon? condensation in the fog light I've already had that housing replaced and tried to make a tighter seal with the housing. now I'm just gong to lay down a thin silicone bead underneath the rubber seal of the bulb, dry it out then spray some or that BMW anti-fog solution in the housing. well see how this shit works

hmmmm those could be umnitza ones, but I also know eBay has a lot of those style ones on there too. Is he ABSOLUTELY sure they are umnitza ones or just ones he got from Jlevi? When did he buy them?

like this one is a cheap eBay knockoff of the Umnitza ones... obviously there is a big price difference

he told me he ordered them from jlevi, but jlevi doesnt carry them anymore. he contacted jlevi about replacing the units, but they just sent him replacement rings. here is what he pm'ed me:

Quote:
I HAD halogens. The dealer screwed us on our order and we didnt get HIDs. To fix the problem they halved with me on the Umnitza e90 HID kit. Only problem is that after installation the angels went out (3 of 4). I purchased them from JLEVIsw and they sent replacement Angel Eye rings. That was the best they could do since they had probs with their distributor. (they have since ceased carrying the product). So its not OEM stuff where i can just change out a bulb. The housing has to be backed and the replacement rings put in. I just feel way underqualified to do this. I am hoping for help!

hmmmm... well i know for 1 if he's had um for a few years it might actually be the ballasts that went bad, however the halos going out would make more sense. Maybe he should ask Jlevi exactly what brand they are, I don't think they sold "Umnitza" brand lights but maybe he is just using it as a generic term like "rollerblades" or something.

Either way baking isn't too hard. Like I said, just tell him if he can get all the screws out that hold them together, baking them at 200 deg or whatever for like 20 min is fine and they should come apart no problem... I just couldn't get all the screws needed to open them up for it in the set I had, which are NOT the same as his so hopefully he'll have better luck than I did.
