chyllintsx

WEEERRRRDDDDD!!!

damn we got the same taste bro... only u got the cash... bastard!

arch

Im still here, umnitza is being patient, after all I had the lights sitting around for 4-6 months before I even took delivery of my car, and even longer before I sent them in for mod.

They still arent on yet. Just waiting for a day off and a couple of hours to put them on, nice weather would help also. Im not going to apologize for working my ass off and not having time to work on the car. Its still sitting in the driveway, same place for the past 11 days, dead battery, broken glove box, due for an oil change. Not to mention Im in the process of moving to a new place.

ooookie dokie?

chyllintsx

damn arch, its all good, jes take ur time, good lcuk on ur new move =)

umnitza

Guys we know we can do this, we haven't put them on the site because we need pictures of them on the car.

We already have the specs and the pictures, and we'll be offering them for $149 for any of the first 20 people buying them

umnitza

If you want them, just contact us - info@umnitza.com

97AcuraCL

what kind of modifications have to be done to the car's wiring to install the lights you modify?

97AcuraCL

also who would be interested in starting that swap deal that we were talking about above?

I couldn't be wihtout headlights for 2 weeks.

chyllintsx

yea same here... i have a pair of spare headlights but its got no projectors... also...
1- are we sending u ours for a mod...(for sure) or u can send something pre-made
2- is it true that we would need some other power source for it since arch has mentioned it that it was dim when its connected to the battery

thanks

Emailed Umnitza , still $149 .

But looks like the challenge is figuring out how to power them up.

rmpage

If it's a 12VDC inverter then you can run a line directly to the battery. You'd need to build a circuit to power them anyway. I don't see why this is such a big deal.

Nicky

Where the pics at? ;x

97AcuraCL

lol everytime i see this shit in my e-mail i think we've finally got some pics; but it ends up being just another cock tease

Nicky

Seriously

I want quality pictures before I commit to this

arch

Guys, sorry for the delay. Just need time to settle in the new place and get time to work on the car. As far as $149 from Unmitza that is a GREAT price compared to what I paid them.

I already powered them up with a power supply, so I can verify they work, they're very bright, and look awesome like the previous pics I posted. I just havent had time to install them on the car yet. Then the question is since I purchased the prototype lights off Ebay if they will need to be aligned to factory specs which I cannot predict until I put them on. Also I need a torx or something to open the HID housing to transfer the bulbs.

As far as powering them up, I found out on the first attempted install that the factory Acura turn bulb wires do not provide enough voltage to power these us. So when I do get to install next time Im going to try using a relay and wire directly to the fuse box (headlights) hoping with a switched relay this will get the lights the full voltage neccessary.

In not sure if the relay will provide a 12volt output from a lower voltage input, but its the only thing I can think of for now without wiring the lights directly to the battery and giving them a seperate switch that has to be manually turned on and off.

rmpage

Yeah, a relay would be the answer. The smaller 12v relayes close their coils at 6-9 volts anyway. While you're at it, could you take a VOM to the headlight wiring harness and tell us what voltage it reads? I'm having a hard time believing that the HID ballasts can operate with less than 10-11v.

arch

Ok just an update: Im going on a trip out of town at the end of this week, so I can leave the car at a body shop to have these put on instead of trying to get some free time to do this myself. I'll figure out the wiring when I get it back, but for now they will be installed and aligned properly.

Im sure the relay will work from tapping the fusebox. When I get back I'll pick up the car, power it up and post pics, finally. Sorry for keeping you guys waiting, and Umnitza will have pictures to finally update thier site. I know Ive been saying it, the installed and operational pics will be posted next week.

xenonhid

Damn rmpage, wish you around when I had to install my fog lights. Paid 70 buck for the install but I think I could have done it myself. I wonder if arch is going to have an indepedent switch next to the VSA button to turn on/off the angel eyes?

hondatypes

dam...looking forward to those pics.....how many member would actually buy these???? i would!!!!!!!!!!! and the price is cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

97AcuraCL

I'd do it if there was some concrete info on how to install.

97AcuraCL

along with the LED tails from the other thread

chyllintsx

yo diago, dont get to excited, u have to send in ur headlights, they do the angel eyes for u there for 149, then u get it back and got to install n wire it urself

hondatypes

lol...dam if you think about it, its a long waiting period!!!! the only problem i see is the wiring. but fk it....if finished results pics look good then its worth it.
chyllintsx....you going to buy it???

Belzebutt

Has anyone tried that simple LED modification for their TSX to create the angel eyes effect, like that Japanese guy explained? Does anyone remember that? It was something like a year ago but I can't find the thread anymore.

THEY'RE ON! Finally, here are a few pics. My camera battery was going dead as I was snapping these pics in the rain. They look AMAZING! Super bright and it was difficult to get a clear picture of the rings themselves, when they were on the lit up the entire housing and could be seen from several driveways away. (Neighbors came over to gawk).

arch

The first 2 pics are taken with a flash. The last 3 pics are taken without a flash but the motion lights came on behind me. I took some pics in total darkness, but they didnt come out right.

In none of the pics above are the headlights or high beams on. All illumination is provided by the rings themselves.

The rings are not fully illuminated all the way around the top. There is a very slight dead space, but it cannot be noticed at eye level. You have to sit and really look under to notice it.

For wiring, the were connected directly to the battery, fused, and switched. Im going to install the relay this weekend hopefully to get them to come on with the parking lights.

Also I wanted to take pics of the smoked side markers they did for me. They look awesome in the daytime, semi-transparent. At night the orange marker does not show through when the lights are off. I kinda miss that and felt that it looked ok on the CG.

Tomorrow I'll try to get better pics at night. Also pics of day/night side markers.

arch

I also wanted to say the rings are very thin and streamline looking, I already said they are super bright.

I have the angel eye projectors on my civic, and these just look much cleaner and better. The civic halos are thicker and plasticky, and LED based. You can see the bright and dim areas.

The Umnitza lights are brighter and consistent all the way around. Super thin and clean, super bright, Im extremely happy. Im tempted to sleep in the garage tonight just to look at them. Im afraid I'll go blind if I keep staring at them too long.

umnitza

Only way to capture them in real color and output is at dusk or at dawn.

Similar to this:

wow, we finally got the pics
i have to admit, i was starting to doubt you.

nice!

yuhoo22

I'm waiting for better pics that should be taken at dusk....(hint, hint)

Looks good from what I can tell though!

hondatypes

need more pics!!! further away!!!! and at dusk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

arch

dusk/dawn pics will have to come this weekend. I work from 9am to midnight, so no chance of me getting up at sunrise. I cant drive this car to work, so the only time I will get to photograph it, or drive it will be this weekend hopefully.

chyllintsx

hahaha damn arch, they looks super bright lol.. looks good man... good stuff...again thanks for donating ur lights...

diago....im not sure if imma get them yet...

belzebutt.... i have custome made angel eyes using LEDs... used 8 total... 5 are dead... i would not advise going the LED way... go with umntiza's angelss

hondatypes

i got a question, do they have different colors you can choose from. i see some bmws with bright white ones and others with bright blue ones..also seen one bmw with red ones!!!! look really good!!!??????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????

cusetsx

Some before and after pictures would be nice too

arch

as far as the colors, it depends on what angle you see them from. When these were tested before I put them on, they appeared super white because I could look at them directly in ambient light in the garage. When they were mounted on the car and seen from a standing angle or side angle they have a blue-ish tint to them, but I only get to see my car at night. It also depends alot on the ambient lighting. Im sure at dusk/dawn they will appear whiter, at night they appear blue-ish.

As far as before pics, just search for any CG TSX here on the board, there are plenty of pics of stock lights. I didnt take any befores.

dude man, that looks great. mad props for putting them up

GrOD

How difficult is it wire it up? Is it like setting up aftermarket fog lights?
