Umnitza Predator Orion V2's look strange pics !

I had friends look at the Predator Orions and it looks like its stock angel eyes . A duller color like yellowish instead of bright LEDS . Take a look . I contacted them today so if its not right they'll fix the problem .

Why are people constantly putting the halo right over the projector lens?
And whoever says they "do not notice any difference" is in denial..

Something is definitely wrong with those. 6000k is the only color they come in I believe
This is what mine look like.

Could they have been installed backwards, the LEDs facing the projector instead of out?

We were linked to this thread from another forum.

OP - your issue appears to be that they aren't lit up or getting any power.
there is no reason, they shouldn't look like the pictures below:

On a side note, we are aware (have been aware now for 3 months) that a competitor is copying our product. There are several key issues we've seen regarding that product that is advertised.
1) it has no warranty compared to ours
2) it uses inferior finish on the rings, with poorer quality LED
3) it uses fewer LED in the ring
4) they did do something perfect, they copied our controller boxes so perfectly, we filed patent infringement papers with a C&D effective July 10th.
5) on web pictures, they look very similar (down to the colors selected for the LED types), please do not be fooled.

Orion V2 is only authorized from two vendors.
And is the only kit that is tested and guaranteed to be replaced even if you ever get into an accident and the rings don't work.

I had them installed by acktl05 (vendor) from this board . It was working when I got it initially installed . But it seems like the orions went out could it be when I installed the switchbacks it blew out ...? I have no clue .

Orion rings won't go out.
It sounds like you lost a connection for power somewhere to them.

Could it be a fuse ? I want to know before I take off my bumper again . I remembered my ghetto idiot installer had the ground ran up into the fuse of my car before it was installed the right way

No, the back doesn't light up. They are LED's and the LED's are only facing foreward inside the diffuser.

I don't have one yet but I believe you can use your car battery to test them too.

Sorry fellas ...my mistake . ^ They weren't even on . I finally had a chance to pull off my bumper and the connector piece to the harness must of fell off . It must of disconnected when I installed the switchbacks and didn't even bother to look . Here are some shots I just took . Sorry my headlights are a bit hazy from me trying to clean and restore them ...lol I never get it on my first try .

This shows that they weren't on . After I installed the one

That's the way it suppose to be. Hopefully you won't have any problems with them like some of us do. Although the last pic look like the bottom ones are dimmer, might be the angle when you took the pic.
