Anyone use these headlights?

SapphireM5 · 12-05-2018, 06:08 PM

Hey guys have been looking to possibly upgrade my pre lci look. Came across these headlights, anyone ever use them? I have an email into the company but in the meantime wanted to see if anyone has used them. I don't want to go the umnitza route. Thanks

Why no Umnitza? Just curious because I thought people had good experience with their setup here. I've heard of these Schmiedmann headlamps too but haven't seen any feedback yet either

These are the same ones umnitza sell. You can get them in AliExpress too

AWF10M5 · 12-06-2018, 12:31 AM

Look closely it's per side the price

👎🏽

They are not the same as Umnitza. They are made by HELLA who make them OEM for BMW. It's just missing the BMW and adaptive LED stamps.

SapphireM5 · 12-06-2018, 04:09 AM

Yes these are definitely not the same ones as umnitza. As stated above these are made by Hella and look to be a good option. Waiting to hear back from the company. As per price, they are just about the same price as umnitza as well once you add their shipping costs. I'll keep everyone posted on what I find out.

AWF10M5 · 12-07-2018, 03:03 PM

Well then these won't fit at all. Hellla makes tons of These but only for m5 with led stock.

Even in the description it says only fits m5 with adaptive led headlight

Lol

As someone already said, these are the OEM headlights, which are made by HELLA, just not BMW branded. They'll fit, but this is the price for the right side headlight only.

You'll need some harness modification, maybe a couple extra modules and coding.

Hey bud, spoke to the company. These would be a direct replacement for 2014 and newer. For my pre lci I will have to do as you stated, move some pins around on my harnesses and modules. Maybe some minor coding if anything. I'm trying to find a write up a member did when he installed LCI lights on his 2013. It's was very detailed and he explained everything with pictures. Just can't find it.

Oh and yes this is only for one side I just didn't link the left side. Works out to be the same price as umnitza maybe even a little cheaper with shipping.

That's it!! Thanks so much I couldn't find it

one of the best mods you will do. adaptive LED's are incredible and with high beam assist its mind blowing.

Nikolov · 12-11-2018, 01:32 PM

In order to get the anti-dazzle high beam you'll have to change your windshield and add a KAFAS2 camera.
