I left my car at home today and am letting the glue dry for 24hours fully. Wiring it up is a pain in the ass, the connectors for the rings dont have enough wire, and the quick splice doesn't work since the wire is so thin. I have have 6 wires exposed in engine bay. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

Man this is so tempting, I am planning on buying another set of headlights and do the mods just in case I mess up heh, got back up. So basically you are using the soldier iron to melt through the plastic? You think it would work for melting through the hard glue to get to the eye brows? Anyone selling a Pre- LCI headlights

That's why you should contact Umnitza and get the right boxes to keep each box seperately. and no exposed wires.
I'll take a pic tonight on how i set up the box. I actually took out all the BS angel eyes from BMW and the fiber optic setup. I took the umnitza box and screwed it onto the screw that was holding the angel eye housing. Hard to explain, but i can just take a pic and it'll explain everything. LOL.

Apparently each boxes powers them different. If I use 3 into a 4 connection box it will wear the life of them down quick. The smaller rings needs to go into the two box connection, they are designed for the small rings. It really sucks it couldn't be a better design, I've already cut the connections so I can't go back now.

So in turn, how do they expect me to wire that up right? that's wierd.
You can always fix up the wires even if its cut. =) I soldered the box wires to the AE wires.
