now saying all of this, i doubt you will find people selling them here, i have been in this forum for 6 months and never came across someone selling their headlights. Always worth the try of course.

I posted a WTB and was lucky enough to get a set immediately.

I agree, some batches were bad but good batches are holding strong.

Imho I'd still go down that route again - it changes the look of the car completely.

They were once a reputable company 10+ years ago, E46Fanatics day, now they are joke, customer service is non existent. Perhaps their belly is full now, they could care less if people bought their products or not. I'm sure there are people who disagree but I personally wouldn't deal with them.

You will have some downtime but I would get them customized instead

Not an option for people who prefer OEM+ look.

Overall I see the point. I dealt with them for 5 months before I got fed up and got a used set which turned out to be from one of their best batches.

What's the performance and or aesthetic differences between let's say the Umnitza lights versus OEM with the lighting package ? I can't tell the difference.
