Hello everyone. So I'm planning on buying the euro stickers from AKAlius so it's inevitable that I have to open my headlights. Doing this I might as well go with the Orion V2 AE's since they are bright and pretty awesome. Anybody have these for sale? Or know who has them at a decent price?? THANKS!!!!

Um, why would you open the headlights to add the Euro Stickers? The are applied to the outside of the headlight, not the inside. for the Orions, I have to admit they are the absolute brightest AE's you can get, but unfortunately only Umnitza has them.

I think R9andy might have one for sale check with him, if not then find out from Umnitza about the Orion V2.

Oh ok thanks bro. Some idiot told me Id have to open the lights for the euro stickers. So the sticker is outside on the plastic? How does it overlap the orange inside then??

Not sure who the idiot is, but the Euro stickers were originally designed to go on the outside. However, a few of us have put them on the inside after nigxdoof explained that the reflector is not TOO difficult to remove once the headlight is opened. (I believe, so far, all the Socal members that have Euro stickers on the inside is done by me)

Quite literally though, the sticker looks many times better right over the reflector than over the headlight housing, as you can still see the amber if you're looking at the car straight on, and other angles.

I do offer the service of cutting up the headlights to apply the Euro stickers, but if you're going to do the Orions (through me), the service is discounted greatly.
