I agree. But which one would you rather see, condensation or brown glue(which BTW is hidden as soon as you close the hood)?

But you understand why I withheld the info(which I finally did reveal later on)

Who did you ask? And why didn't you ask me, lol. The only person I messaged prior to doing mine was OSS Luis, and he did not respond at all. But I thought whatever, if he can do it, so can I

Phil, as far as the glue showing, you must've used a lot of glue, hahaha. I can understand a little showing if you did the eyebrow mod, but kind of befuddled by it showing doing the Orions. Anyway, this is a quick fix (not sure how it'll hold up), but take a black sharpie, and color where it shows. Since the gasket is black, it should blend right into it.

Haha, better to be on the safe side I guess. I am assuming there is no leakage problem for you, lol.

I mean, if you really have way too much, the other way to do it would be just taking a razor and slicing the excess off.

Umnitza told me the multi color orion v2s are brighter then the regular white ones but the rings are bigger then the e60. I asked if I can special order a set for the e60 but they said no

also they had no plans to make a multi colored version for us. I'd be willing to shell out the cash for a one of a kind set. Too bad... So right now I'm on the fence. Also I want to get my angel eyes brighter. I had bright ones from mike but they kept blowing out on me so I settled for the radio shack ones and I'm not too happy with them. I need brighter!!

Joe, I am assuming you're the one that picked up the multi-colored Orions from Umnitza recently?
