Mike, you. are. the. man. for doing this 
-looks like we're about to get some serious snow/rain, so this should be worked out soon 
hopefully, no condensation 
Burn it and claim insurance
Sounds like there may still be some final details to iron out, but if you offer the Orion install, euro corner and eyebrow mod as a package I just hope I can get a good discount

that's fine. It is your product. 
I just need help in wiring it to turn on and off while arming my car.
I already spoke to some reps at umnitza and they said to follow the E46 M3 guide (not that helpful since its not the same car, but i do understand the concept). Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the power from the OEM angel eyes. Do I keep it wired too? If not, what do I wire it up with?
I think the method I'm going to go for is use the puddle light from the mirror, find out what is powering it (probably the door footwells lights) and tape them into the angel eye power via the LCM. So Umnitza, any advice / help? it would be much appreciated.

I just hope I can get a good discount I took it out two days ago in the rain to test it, No problems so far. Then I took a bucket of water and poured it on the hood and no leakage or condensation. Will definitely let everyone know if any problems arise.
As for details, everything works like OEM Angel eyes. What I was asking Umnitza about was the Fade on and Fade off feature when arming / disarming the car. That's an extra feature that comes with the orions.

Former Vendor
Thanks for the image usage.
Once the new site goes live tomorrow, all customers will be able to add their own images right onto the products they purchased (with approval of course). We're going to encourage people put their user names OR their actual first name so people can see who's car it is (if you want).
MonsterJ34 - it's $250+shipping to us and from us. We haven't done that many locally - 2 so far - with most of our work being remote or via magazine people who don't frequent the forum much.

Frik, I forget to ask my buddy about the specifics when he was here. But basically, we wired it to one of the welcoming light, to have it turn on and off with unlock/lock. The only problem with doing it this way is that the relay will cause a electric phase up/down that sounds rather scary.
