2014 F30 LED - Halogen to LED Conversion
Hi Everyone,
Greetings! This is my first post but I have been a visitor here from past three years! I will jump on the topic right away I recently did the upgrade of my halogen to LED from UMNITZA. I also upgraded my fog lights to HID with ballasts. Pros: 1. Looks very near to OEM 2. No errors 3. Smooth Installation 4. I will say value for money because I feel like they are worth it. 5. Very bright, crisp and sharp Cons: 1. LEDs are little on the brighter side but perfect for dark pitch road. The make is LUXEN NHK Canbus. 2. A little flickering on startup which I heard can be fixed by Coding. Overall I am very satisfied and I was looking for the replacement from a long time. Pics - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/67wk5qh38...p5Z8W4l5a?dl=0 Another Thread for the same lights: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1191601 I am happy to answer any questions or any further information needed |

Does it have any kind of decent cut off? I know it won't be xenon type, but as far as the cut off from the halogens to this, was there much of a change? This is the only reason why I'm still up in the air about them is because I don't want it to be a big glob of light off the front of my car like it was when I put led bulbs into my low beams.

the lights look great! They flickr on startup and then dont flickr again? Definitely the best alternative to halogen lights. I bet its so much nicer driving around at night especially with extra hids in the fog lights.

Looks great man! But question on the fitment..Image 3115 and 3118 (showing comparison of factory halogen vs LEDs) it looks like there is significant gap between hood line and quarter panel to the housing. It doesn't seem to fit into that curve as well. The after picture is also noticeable gap. Are my eyes deceiving me or did this not bother you much?

Although it shouldn't have changed as the bumper was fit in the exact same way it was taken off and the lights dimensions are exactly the same. Thanks for pointing it out |

Link for the lights - https://www.umnitza.com/headlights-p...ngel-eyes.html No they only flicker for about 3 seconds at startup (that also if you have the lights on). If you start at off position and switch to headlights afterward, no flickering at all. Additionally I didn't notice any flickering whatsoever for the past two days. |
