They say that they use Osram or Philips LED bulbs, but... how check this ?

But we all know that poor quality LEDs can fail very quickly.

So the question is, what sort of quality are Umnitza products usually?

They are built in China which is definitely a bit concerning. There is a 1 year warranty on these lights and LED lights are known to be long lasting. I guess I'll find out. No props yet and I always leave them on.

So they are the same which are sold on Aliexpress... and the ones sold on aliexpress have 2 years warranty, I talked to a seller and he said me that in case of failure you have to send back the headlight and they will change the bulb in the headlight.

Umnitzä does the same ? I believe not, I sent 3 emails and they didn't reply to my questions yet...

1 year warranty with no inssurance that they provide replacement parts (ballast or LED module) or even just one headlight replacement (instead the both in case of just 1 headlight fails) it's totaly not admissible for a 1800$ headlight.

I hope your headlights will have a long life

thanks for the well wishes...Sounds like these lights are not a good fit for you. some people see the value and others see the costs. Good luck my friend.

2 Years is fine. I'm no fan of Umnitza, but I'd feel more comfortable sending them to somewhere in the U.S. than Aliexpress which is most likely in China...

Can you imagine the process it takes to take it off, send it to China, wait for the fix, wait to get it back. You'd probably be without a car for weeks.

Yes it's a big problem, that's why I will keep my stock bi-xenon, I will upgrade them like I did on my old e60; I changed the lens by a ZKW clear lens bought on TheRetrofitSource and I changed the stock Osram bulb by the Osram CBI, the difference was awesome.

I'm also thinking to install the LCI bi-xenon, I have to do some research how to do that. I love the lighted eyebrow on the LCI light.

Even umnitza will haave to wait on parts from China im sure.

Sorry for the old bump, but debating on getting these too since these look so much better than the XENON style.

smoorebmw any updates on how these held up?

[DaveCM5]

If you're happy with it then that's what counts. The install looks very clean and the finished product appears to look OEM.

But as for me, having a current LCI M5 with LED lights, and having had an E60 530i and an E60 M5 with Bi-Xenon, I couldn't accept losing the functionality of the adaptive lighting only because I want the light to come from a different source (LED vs Arc). If the Bi-Xenon lights didn't work well then that would be one thing, but in my experience BMW's Bi-Xenon headlamps work really well.

But again, the install looks clean.

Let me jump in here... I have installed the Umnitza Lights (the dealer from I purchased the car from, did it for me), installed in about 1 hr. I have never seen the OEM LCI lights, but allow me to say that these are absolutely stunning. I've only had the car for 1 day, so, Don't have many pics yet. In fact, I have not even washed the car yet. Will provide more feedback this week.

All i need to do now is Code out the two faults (cornering and adaptive feature). I have my OBD2 cable from my e60, and I have NCS Expert on my computer, but have not tried coding it out. Don't even know where to find those modules.

I'm interested too!!!!!!

[Socom]

Hey is this possible on my 2011 BMW 535i xdrive? I have xenox lights and i live in dallas texas 75248

[tomo.n]

I am interested in the headlights of Umnitza.
If you look at the introductory video of the forum and youtube, it is only the model before LCI.
My vehicle is a 2014 LCI model and a xenon and turn signal bulb.
I emailed Umnitza. But they did not get in touch.
Please let me know

[boomerang.e92]

The headlights are awesome but I’d love to know how to properly fix cornering issue - FLC_AKTIV didn’t work for me :/
