HID Conversion from UmNitza

Guys;
Just did the HID conversion from UmNitza. The install was pretty easy, except for a slight mod to the headlight bulb retaining clip, but there were no other issues. Plug and play with no trips to the dealer to flash the ECU, about 45 minutes total install time.

Brightness is superb! Definitely worth the price (less than half what the dealer charges to convert to Xenons).

Pics coming soon....contact Matt at Umnitza if you're interested in this upgrade. http://www.umnitza.com/index.php

Looks like it is Craig after all. Nice to see you here in the MB forums after seeing you on the BMW forums for some time now. I'm looking forward to seeing your plans for the CLK 500

Craig, is this a HID bulb retrofitted to the stock halogen housing? Or did you totally get a new projector housing?

Wassup guys?

Yup...its me...thanks, Verone, for spilling the beans....

Anyway, yes, this is a retrofit of bulbs to the stock housings. The kit is from Matt at UmNitza...great products, great service. Everything else is stock

Um, Craig is very well known for his automotive skills. Google him and check out some of his stuff. I went with Umnitza with just his recomendation.

Umnitza - Good Boy, Smart Boy, Knowledge Boy - In Russian dictionary

Umnitza - ****-head, Know-it-all, So-you-think-you-are-smarter-than-me - In Russian slang.

Sorry, Matt - I just could not resist. I wish you picked a better name. I know you think it is funny too. Nothing against your lights.

Umnitza - It just brings too many memories.
