DIY Predator Orion V2

Has anyone try to bake their e92 headlight and try to custom there angel eyes with Orion V2?

http://www.umnitza.com/predator-orio...mo-p-5680.html

I want to see everyone opinion if it worth doing it yourself or just spend the extra cash to let the pro do it? Is diy kit from umnitza hard to install such as as wiring to get it function correctly?

I see that you're from TX, what city if its near dfw, lets get together and tackle this project. Been wanting to tho do this long ago, but the price been holding me back.


Several year back, I have help a friend bake his e46, and install the angel eye as well, hopefully not much is diff. Also bake a jdm 5th prelude to insert a yellow capsule.

How'd it end up tasting when it was done cooking? LOL

I did the same with my E46 lights... that being said, I wouldn't consider it with my e92...

I had debated this for about three months but finally jumped the gun three weeks ago. It turn out it is fairly easy to install the v2 predator Orion the 335i coupe
Here's the step I had followed
1. remove the front bumper
2. bake the headlight in the oven at 250 F
3. use a flat head screw to pry open the headlight
4. uninstall the corona rings
5. use epoxy to glue the rings to the black headlight housing
6. remove the old silicon that is left on the headlight and reseal with permanex black silicon adhesive to prevent condensation
7. ENJOY =D
on the side note, I blackout the whole headlight and unplugged the orange amber on the far corner of the headlight =)
I live in Atlanta =) and I also have an extra set of v2 Orion if anyone want to buy 150.
OSS lighting got nothing on me =D

So how did you wired the Orion v2? Any DIY pictures of the wiring?
