If anyone did a side by side comparison please chime in. Putting all the frustrations aside for the Umnitza V2s, I think everyone who's planning to do this upgrade will appreciate your honest review. We have waited for so long to get the 2 brands compared and it's about time to decide.

That old thread...I tried helping that member with that install. From an install perspective, the AIB's are WAY easier to install. True plug and play. However, Umnitza is cheaper.
All I can say is this... I've been to a westcoast meet where I saw AIB V1's, AIB V2's, AIB V3's and Umnitza V2's all side by side. This was in the dark too. Let's just say I'm happy with my V2's and that they are some of the brightest, if not the brightest. We honestly couldn't tell the difference between AIB's V2 and V3. A few other veteran members on this board were with me and they even concurred.
If I were you, I would go with AIB's, but that's just my opinion.

As you can see, in the daylight you can barely tell they're on...but at night? Oh what a difference!
