I was the first prototype for the TL-S back in November of 06. It's almost May, 2009 and the umnitza angel eyes are still flawless.

I haven't taken a new photos recently, but I have some in my earlier post.

I used Qwik Grip from walmart to mount my to the bezel rings. Idk if there are any DIYs out there, but its fairly simple. Check ebay for the 2 ring set. Its sold by lightwurkz which is a distributor of Umnizta or something along those lines. Thats where I got mine from, and Im pretty sure most people get theirs from.

^ thx... as far as wiring goes what does everyboday tap into? I'm going to assume parking lights? I guess that's why I'm asking for a DIY it's more for the electrical stuff than the actually mounting.

Wiring is easy. Just a simple ground and a positive trigger off the parking light. Your other option is to just put it on a switch and run it to the dash independantly. And lastly you can wire it with a relay, so that it will turn on with your parking lights but off with your headlights.

Thanks for the answers AZ, I was busy with school and couldnt respond.
But yea I want the predator orion ones. My TL is 04 so it doesnt have 2 bezels in each light housing. They said the 2 rings will fit the older ones but you have to glue one of the rings to your light. Has anyone tried that yet?

Yes, search, there are lots of members who have done two rings in an 04, 4 rings in an 04 (altho not my style here)...

bfbrian or whatever he is used the rings from oznium...$25 for 3 rings and the inverter....

Yo!! order them from umnitza.com. And then PM JNC. He does badass conversions, and has a trade in program where he'll do what you want to a set he already has, send them to you, swap them out and send your oems back to him. Freakin awesome deal and good pricing

Engineering Detail:
  • Requires baking of the headlights (20 minutes @ 200 degrees on cookie sheet and bake)
  • 30-50 minute complete install using standard hand tools per side.
  • 50000mcd or 3X as bright as the nearest competitor.
You're supposed to bake the headlights????

You guys seriously need to use the search and do some research.. too many basic questions being asked in this thread.

And yes.. baking of headlights needs to be done to open them up.

Haha, Thanks for answering some of my questions guys.

Yeah, I knew about the tl-s about 4 months before it's initial release and had my name first on the list at 3 local dealerships. The second a NBP 6MT TL-S came in, I was right there beside it.. 43k otd.

As for the lights, I can't say much because Umnizta (Anatoliy) was experimenting on my car, which meant he did a full install etc. Yes, he did bake the housing and used some super strong glue to attach the angel eyes to the housing. If you look up closely, the glue is quite visible. The headlights were put back together with silicon. Wired to parking lights as everyone mention.

As for purchasing the kits, yes LightWurkz is an official re-seller of Umnitza products. If you want Lightwurkz phone number, PM me and I'll send it too you, they should run pretty cheap right now.
