Umnitza LED DTM Headlights

[f10eugene]

Hey guys,

I just ordered a set of these headlights for my '13; should have them installed sometime next month.

Are any memebers running these lights? Any feedback?

Only downside from what I've seen is that:

1. Requires some coding to remove adaptive fail warning
2. No adaptive lights

Thanks!

I just ordered this on my newly acquired 2013 M5 ETA is 2 Week of May.

you wont regret it..... Trust me. However, to code this correctly do not even think of using someone else other than ADRIAN. Talk to Umnitza, and they will refer you to him.

Adrian was awesome. Patient, and is VERY familiar with the coding options. Do not try to code this out yourself. If so, do a backup of all files.

Once you are done.... You will be EXTREMELY happy. The headlights were the coolest upgrade...

Do you have any pics of them after final install? I have only found pics of the lights themselves before install or far away on the car. Anything at night or just some close ups around the car?

Thanks

there is a lot of emails between me and them to resolve this issue. first, they said it is normal and will disappear with some time. later, they told me to double check the fitment. then they asked me to put silica packets to absorb it. after that they told me to remove it because it make it worse. finally, they said I'm not the only one has this issue, and several customers have it.

I asked them several time to replace them, but they keep changing the subject and propose another solution. I'm really disappointed from the way they are dealing with me.

That makes me think twice! replica garbage

That is a little scary. Granted I have only had these lights on for a month. So far no problems. Can you please be specific as to when they started getting moisture inside after you installed?

Any info is helpful.

thanks

Easily $3k more expensive for OEM LEDs.

I will post back as time progresses. Want to keep anyone in the loop about these lights. will try to provide a review after 6, 12, 18 months later.

Let us know if they replace them or refund $$$... Sounds like youre getting bad service. I hope they step up and do the right thing

Thanks for the feedback. Im wondering if someone has had these installed for over a year without problems... Would love to hear some feedback from others who have installed these...

[f10eugene]

I did ask about condensation and they said that it can occure in the beginning becuase the lights have been freshly sealed and due to change of altititude/pressure/temp (assuming those lights get flown in from manufacturer). I was instructed to open up some sort of cap once I receive them.

I am EXTREMELY ocd so driving around with light(s) that have condensation is not an option.

Keep us updated on your install. I washed the car saturday, and no problems.

Adrian is very good. It's helpful to us because he's local.

We just sent another customer his way.

Hopefully no delays. Dealing with the factory is very difficult sometimes.

Smoorebmw is the member, the was vocal on this forum and started a thread. We have installed 10+ units here locally so far. No major issues.

Thanks

here is Friday's install for Jimmy U.....Sorry the pics got a little oversized but better this way so you can see the detail of the product on the car better.
I've put those photos at the bottom of this reply since they are gigantic.

EDIT: We are working things out.

Mike, changing your opinion may be difficult but because circumstances on public forums often have many sides to the issue, best not to jump to conclusions.

We care very much about our reputation, which is why we've continued to give you many solutions across over 20+ emails. Each time we offer you a solution we work with the factory to get best practice support for you. That's good customer care.

They haven't been out more than a year. Smoore's install was in September 2016.
We've replaced 2 headlights thus far for people and remain actively engaged with anyone that needs support as it comes up.

Here are the photos from the most recent install:

I vote for a free replacement! Umnitza can take the used headlights and refurbish them then resell here for a slightly lower price. Win win win
