Just wanted to see if anyone else would be interested in the Depo angel eyes for E36 models. I can try to get a vendor to offer a resonable price for them if I get approx 10 individuals interested.

intersted.. if the price is good and it uses led's.. I dont want to deal with light boxes

interested as well for the right price.
joe@jcorvaia.com

id be interested if the price is right.

Since we got a few interested I found a vendor that is willing to do the GB.

The lights comes with wiriing/harnesses/Genuine Philips bulbs.

The angel eyes are built-in and theres no need to open them up or do any wiring on the inside. The angel eye uses bulbs.

They have them in stock and if we can get 10 individuals then we can get them for $195 shipped in the 48 states.

Reply to this post if anyone else is interested. :redspot

interested, but if the angel eyes use light bulbs, then they won't be as bright as the CCFL ones such as DDE's or LLAE's.

Theres an ongoing GB for DEPO/DJ Auto 175 shipped with VIZU bulbs and PNP.

hmm, just got an email back from that guy he is still selling them for $175 shipped. depending on the price here i may try to diy the AE with ccfl tubes.

yeah but those are just ellipsoids. here i believe the goal is everything.

Read the posts thoroughly plus AE on DEPO's sucks. Light is so faint you wont even see it if the lights are on or in daytime. I say go for DDE Lightning if you want AE's.

I agree. If you're getting AEs, do NOT get the LED version. They absolultely suck.

yeah i think i am going to try my hand at a diy anyway. so i think i will go with other gb and get the depo's with no AE.

i'm in tooo!

I'm in, if you get the ones that you can see during the day
The rings where you can see during the day? Haha, yeah right. Just go to the Umnitza.com website to get an idea of how much those cost.

I've seen some Depo ones with DDE rings for about $350-375 on eBay, I believe. You can check there. ;)

buy on quality of service, not just on price.

what happens if you have a problem and the guy is gone or doesn't want to help.
save a little now, waste a lot of money and time later.

Im in...so the price is $175.00 shipped? Let me know, thanks. ;)

updates?

i will probably be in... see if you could get the price alittle lower... other than that, i should be set with the 195 for depo + angel eyes :D

Sorry all, I've been quite busy lately. I'll contact the vendor on Monday to see if they're able to do anything re. pricing. They're a reliable vendor so post-sale support/QOS will NOT be an issue.

e36eric@yahoo.com

As far as I know these lights are plug and play. Will confirm tomorrow w/ vendor. I think we have enough individuals but you're more than welcome to jump in on this GB. Details on payment will follow shortly. :buttrock

Ok, I got the go-ahead on the Groupbuy from emotionGarage. Lets do it! My order is being placed right now:

Questions? contact me or one of the sales guys over there.

I may want to get in on this, I am not sure though. Can there be more than 10 orders?

I may want to get in on this, I am not sure though. Can there be more than 10 orders?


Yes. There was a minimun of 10 participants. There is NO maximum :eek:

Do we have any pics of these installed in cars? Also do we have any pics with the lights on at night and day? I would like to see some pics if that is possible?

I can see if they have any pictures. I'll be picking these up in a day or two so I'll take pictures of them installed.

Thanks alot man. So I just call Emotion Garage and say im in on the GB and they will ship them out to me? I hope these angel eyes are bright. :devillook

-Phil

You can either call or place your order online. I just did it online. :)

K thanks, I know these angel eyes are built in but if we are not impressed with the Angels eyes britghness is there any way we can do a DIY and put some DDE's in?

you can purchase the DDE Lightning Basic kit for this headlight.

Ok cool, im gonig to order these headlights soon and if im not happy with the angel eye quality I will just get the DDE kit from umnitza. Thanks for all the help guys!!!

are these the ones procarparts sell for 275.00 ?

So these headlights come with everything we need? Will we be able to just install them and be set or are there parts (bulbs) needed?

are these the ones procarparts sell for 275.00 ?

I check on their websites and the ones that are closest to the ones being offered here are over 200 not including shipping. I don't know if they're
exactly the same but they look simliar.


So these headlights come with everything we need? Will we be able to just install them and be set or are there parts (bulbs) needed?

AFAIK, they include everything you need i.e. bulbs, harnesses, plugs, etc...
So once you have them installed, you're good to go.

So these wont ship out till 10 pays? That sux for the first guy. Theres always gonna be laggers and some will flake making it not equal to 10.

^ I'll talk to emotionGarage and see if they can do anything about that. Will keep everyone updated.

Are you sure about this because I talked to someone there about this GB and he told me I could get them in 2-3 days? So he made it seem like once I order them they will be shipped out? I am ready to order ASAP I just wanna know if this is true.

-Phil

I didnt call them or anything but I just read what they wrote on their site.

"We will only ship once all participants have paid. "

im about to buy in... 1sec

ok... im 1 out of 10... rivets, ask how many have already bought, and post when we have all 10...

I'm pretty sure u guys wont be happy with the angel eyes. Save your money, buy just the ellipsoids and buy DDE lightning basic from umnitza. I checked their website(emotiongarage.com) it says "wiring harness", good luck on the install :D

You would want a Plug 'n Play not a wiring harness. I'm not trying to bash this thread but just trying to give out some info and save u some bucks along the way. :redspot

im not caring for the angel eyes or the wiring... this setup is far better than my current stock us yellowed out headlights, and far better than anything out there on ebay. dont bash this thread, i want my headlights...

can anyone confirm whether on not these are plug and play?

dude, im saving you bucks..you're paying extra $$$ for the crappy angel eyes setup. Just buy the Depo headlights without AE!

Anybody have a pic of these headlights in action at dusk or night time?

Honestly, this is one of the best deals I've seen for depo angel eyes. Everyone knows the difference between the various options for the lights but not many want to spend over 400 for them. I spoke to emotiongarage and was informed that the included wiring harness is what allows for plug and play. It is an easy install from what I've heard.

I don't know why theres so much bashing in this thread. I've tried to coordinate a gb on these headlights since I needed some myself and figured I could get the cost down for those who are interested as well.

Heres a thread with pictures of the angeleyes:

I personally think they look good.

Anyways if you just buy a set of depos the GB just ended and if I am correct they sold for about $175 shipped? So if you are not pleased with these angel eyes wait a few months and go buy yourself some DDE from umnitza, its that simple. I mean an extra $20, this is a great deal especally if you have US headlights.

^ Thank you. Thats another way to look at it.

Also, some of the participants in the other GB sent in money orders and never received their lights. I can vouch for emotionGarage (purchased countless parts from them) and I know they are extremely reliable and stand behind their product. Win/Win situation if you ask me. :cool:

Is paypal the only option? I know with emotionGarage I can call the shop, talk to a live person and place my order with a credit card directly. I can also use Paypal, Money orders, or pay a visit to a REAL Physical B&M store to pay for the item and pick it up. :)

rivets, whats the count so far?

I contacted eG and they said that only you and I paid for the lights as of right now. Come on people, lets get the ball rolling. I want to install these lights asap.

No corners, headlights only. Besides, you can pick up a pair of corners for $15 easily.

I managed to get emotiongarage to get some pictures up of the headlights.
The wiring harness will pretty much be plug and play. Instructions are very straightforward and looks to be a 30min job.

Nevermind about the ballast. I guess it woudln't be a great idea :nono

And yes, the engrish is pretty strong in the manual. I'm sure the pictures would be enough guidance anyways.

I am placing my order tonight. Will they charge me before they ship?

They won't charge until all orders are placed (10) :)

They won't charge until all orders are placed (10) :)

So that means they wont ship until 10 orders are placed?

The rings where you can see during the day? Haha, yeah right. Just go to the Umnitza.com website to get an idea of how much those cost.

I've seen some Depo ones with DDE rings for about $350-375 on eBay, I believe. You can check there. ;)

I second this. You cannot see the lights on these rings during the day, believe me, I've seen them 1 foot away at the last 626 meet I went to. just FYI

Anyhow, can someone tell me the price on this GB? Is is 195 shipped or 175 shipped? Thanks.

195 shipped. and like the others said, if you want stronger angel eyes, then get a dde set at umnitza.

based on the current forum posts, here are the people who ordered/ordering soon (not 100 percent accurate):

1. budster
2. rivets
3. bostic*
4. joeyc*

need 6 more. once you order, please add yourself to this list. this is a great buy, and we only need 6 more, so plz hurry and get in on a great gb! :D

order placed

So that means they wont ship until 10 orders are placed?


That's correct. the items won't go out until all orders are filled. That means everyone hurry and buy those darn lights. I need them asap. :stickoutt

195 shipped. and like the others said, if you want stronger angel eyes, then get a dde set at umnitza.



I second this. I don't have 400 to spend on headlights at the moment. My stock us-spec ones are cracked. I just need a set of ellipsoids right now and if I decide that the angel eyes aren't bright enough, I'll just drop another 100 and get some from umnitza.


I'll confirm payments tomorrow morning. Hopefully we'll be closer to our goal.

sorry man, cant do it- my moneys going towards wheels and a drop

interested, but if the angel eyes use light bulbs, then they won't be as bright as the CCFL ones such as DDE's or LLAE's.


Already spending money... hahahahahahaha

195$ is a great deal. so im guessing shipping doesnt count in canada?
btw when does this gb end? thx

"Free Shipping 48states via UPS Ground"

might wanna call/e-mail them and see what they can do for ya.

There are the EXACT same lights Pro CarParts sell...I heard good things about the projector but the AE do kinda suck

In any case Im on the fence for 195$$ not a bad deal at all

bimmer parts sells these for 400.00 dollars

C'mon guys. lets get the ball rolling. Get rid of the janky US spec headlights and replace them with better ones. At 195 shipped, its a steal.

arg. i dont want to loose this offer.. plz hurry guys :o

lol, im back in (no longer dropping the car) sorry about the confusion

im saving my money and time for the umnitza dde's...i used to have those ones with the led's and they jus suck...sorry guys....dde's here i come!! :D

... what is with all this bashing? btw, if you think about it, 20 dollars extra for angel eyes could equal the amount of shipping, so you are actually getting angel eyes for free.

im saving my money and time for the umnitza dde's...i used to have those ones with the led's and they jus suck...sorry guys....dde's here i come!!

of course that made no sense at all, only because your spending 400+ on a set with dde's installed. go ahead and waste your money for all i care. you also mention wasting time, well, you wont waste any time when you just let your dad install them (just seems that your grammar skills are of a ten year old kid).

as for the bashing, stop this **** now. im getting sick of it. you guys may think that everyone is rich, or parents will buy everyone on your street an m3, well, there are a lot more that own the ultimate driving machine, and would love to save money when it comes to them. instead of spending 400 dollars on a pair with dde's installed, why not buy a pair with angel eyes for 200, and then you could always upgrade to the dde's for 100 extra, saving money. its not a matter about being rich, but its a fact of managing money, and how smart a person is to understand all this. the next person to bash this group buy will get a suprise visit and a nice smack in the face.

for some time = money

for some money = not grown on trees

for everyone money = not grown on trees

and thats why we're having this gb.

you also mention wasting time, well, you wont waste any time when you just let your dad install them (just seems that your grammar skills are of a ten year old kid).

p.s. you can buy what ever you want...
and some dde's without the houseing cost like $245 or something like that on umitza.com and install them yourself...

Why bother with a 325 when you can save up for an M3. Same reason why I'm getting these headlights. So I can have something better than what I have now and if I'm not satisfied I can upgrade it later.

And I have a lot better things to spend $245 on than "dde's without the houseing ".

I'm interested in this GB, but got some questions cuz I'm a n00b :95 . (I don't really expect question 2 to be answered, but in case you knew it'd help)

How exactly do these AE work? Are they just rings or can you switch between rings and the full bulb? (daytime/night time) The rings itself don't look very bright at all...

Are these daytime running lights legal and/or bright enough for Canadian use? I just don't want to get ticketed time and time again for non-sufficient DRL.

Thanks. :help

Yes, you can switch between the rings and the full bulbs. They're just to accentuate the appearance of the car. Not to serve as driving lights.

Not sure about the laws over in Canada but I don't think they'll warrant any citations here in California.

One thing, the projector that depo uses with this headlight does indeed suck. It's their H7 version and puts out noticeably less light than their h1 version. This is how things were about 6 months ago, whether or not t hey have changed anything since then is unknown to me, but I would assume not.

The other issue with these is that if you want to upgrade to DDEs later or whatnot, you will have to buy a different headlight. The rings will not fit in the light without the front lens, and the front lens doesn't clear the lowbeam projector IIRC. Just something to keep in mind.

Also, keep note that these do look very dim on the highway and not really like "angel eyes." :) have a happy gb.

Now lets compare all this with the original US SPEC HEADLIGHTS....

I'm telling u guys 175 shipped from the other GB. No need to wait for 10 people to purchase. You guys are torturing urselves. If these depos are using H7 bulbs forget it, these are the old Depos. The newer depos uses H1 i believe. Have fun biting ur nails in waiting for the 10th guy to place an order ;)

Brand new, US Spec lights aren't *that* bad. They might even be better than dj auto.

You just don't get the nice cutoff :)

Is this thing going to go through? I want some new lights, but I kind of want them soon. I would pull out if this just going to happen.

we will find out on tuesday with whats floating...

so the other group buy is 175$$ shipped with DDE?

No, It is just for the housing. Besides, they only accept paypal and seems a bit shady. Some of the participants have yet to receive their headlights.


Will check w/ eG to confirm what we can do right now.

But I thought Umnitza matches any price???????

But I thought Umnitza matches any price???????

Im confuse.. so are you saying that you have depo with DDE basic shipped for 195.00But I thought Umnitza matches any price???????

:lol:
Nope.

We match like for like.
As in - DEPO w/ out DDE or the lower quality angel eyes. It's a match. We won't match these unless it's like for like.

yup, I am about ready to pull out

:lol: it was a bad idea in the first place

can we say, "ban gotdinan?"...

Amazing how a simple gb thread can get so out of hand. I spoke to emotiongarage already and they will honor the gb pricing for those that have already paid. They WILL receive the lights regardless whether 10 people joined or not. PM me if you want in or further details.

So Matt what is your pice for Depo, DDE basic, and pnp just for shitz and giggles

We have the price pre-installed - $429.
$229 + 99 for the Basic Plus DEPO + VIZU.

No bulbs and no Stongard drops the price by $40.

$189 + 99 + shipping and if tax is applicable.

hmmmm.....

umnitza... back off

Rivets,
I got mine today and I must say that I am pleased. I thought the build quality was pretty decent, the pnp connectors were easy enough, and the angel eyes surprised me. I did not buy them for the AE, just the increased visibiltiy. Well, I am sure they are not highly visible during the day, however, they look good at night.
Thanks for organizing and dealing with all the shit.
Joe

hey guys, i got my head lights, they look awesome. havnt installed them yet. 1 Question. Why are they glass instead of plastic? would it break/chip easier? or should i buy those 3M tape stuff. Thx!! :)

i got the 3m laminx stuff from umnitza (50 dollar kit)... this would be considered insurance. glass is better than plastic because glass doesnt yellow and fog up like plastic, and glass always looks cleaner anyway.

I also purchased that 3M (StoneGuard) stuff from Umnitza. It looked horrible on my clear glass though. I also got them for my diamond fogs and it made them look sorta opaque. Definitely wouldn't recommend them if you want them to be "clear". If you don't mind a little opaque-ness, then I'd go for them. Plus, they're great for insurance, like Budster has said. I don't have any nicks or scratches on mine and I've gone 140 or so in my car. But then again, maybe my area is not as full of "debris" like other areas. :dunno

This is incorrect. Sure, it's LIKELY that you had issues with the install, but the product is supposed to be completely clear when installed properly. Note the pitting on the actual paint just to the left of the car's headlight.

Also note that this headlight that is clear actually has the stongard on it.

My stonguard was clear. It had some bubbles at first but disappeared after a few days. U wouldnt even notice that its there. I highly recommend this product.

stongard is all about the install.

heres my depos guys, i need depo rear clear lights now Lol
theres still ceram wrap on the lights btw.

please update pics when they are installed... i went a different route. I went with the Depo+PNP+H1+DDE basic 8000k, I need bright angels!

PMed you about the headlights!

I think its like $15 extra so figure $210 shipped. I thought the headlights on the site was the same as the ones I got :confused:

Those on eBay can stay on ebay.

So did a GB actually go down amidst all this madness?

Who do I need to contact in order to place an order and was the final product a DEPO packwage w/ angel eyes?

Yes, the gb did happen. Now closed...

Wow, that's a great price! How do you like them? Is the light output quite better than stock. I see that there are no angel eyes with this...did you end up buying any aftermarket?

It is a great price. I got my pair and they're exponentially better than the US ones. They do come with angel eyes.

wow, they do? are they ccfl AE's or led's? How bright are they compared to Umnitza basic...pics?

Yup, they come with the angeleyes installed. They're LED's. Not as bright as umnitzas but I didn't buy them for the angeleyels. I got them to see better at night. Besides, you can just retrofit a set of the ddes onto these if they're not bright enough for you. Theres some pictures of the angeleyes in action a few pages back in this thread.

nice, 195 is a great price...how easily do these take HID's? Are the LED AE's as bright as the OE ones?

HIDs can be installed on these pretty easily. I'm gonna do mine w/ a 6k kit soon. The AE's are decently bright. About the same as OE.

nice, I'm gonna be contacting Emotion Garage.

..... The AE's are decently bright. About the same as OE.

That's a lie. Its not even close to the brightness of OE. Please dont give misleading info, just give the facts. You wont be able to see these LED AE's during the day. :nono

Read my post again. I said that they're decently bright and that they're ABOUT the same as oe. These are from my personal experience with them. Yours may be different. Dont put words in my mouth/post. :nono

Here's a pic of the Depo AE I got from this GB. It's great! I haven't seen another car with AE, so to me its worth it even if its not as good quality as umnitza's or whatever. Also, nobody looks at lights during the day anyway!

Forgot the night driving lights... the picture isn't the same cuz my camera sucks.

Those ain't bad at all for a $195 headlight....

:buttrock :redspot That looks GREAT!

If you dont' mind Moolala, I'm gonna move those pictures to the first page so ppl will see it without digging through 7 pages.

hey rivets, are these the inpro headlights, made by depo... is the AE an LED or a bulb?

Those look pretty bright

They're depos, made by depo directly. The AE are bulbs but looks pretty bright ;)

They're bulbs? How does that work? Are they tiny ones around the ring like the Hellas? Or do they use fiber optics like the DDE Gen V kits do?

They use the wedge bulbs same as the Hella headlights.

wow thats bright..i thought u guys have LED's thats why I'm saying its not as bright as OE. I apologize for my post.

Is the the bulbs that you put inside a light box? Can you take pics of the wedge bulbs? Or does emotion garage sell those?

There's three bulbs, two on the sides, one on the bottom.
These bulbs are hotspots in the light

Finally installed my depos the other day and jesus, what an improvement over the crap US-spec lights. I'm sure others will chime in and say how much the angel eyes suck but I'm more than satisfied with them.

Yes, I was impressed as well when I got them on the car. Makes me want to drive everywhere now. I provided a few daylight pictures of them in the above post. Any particular angle that you'ld like? I'll snap them tomorrow and upload it.

Oh yea, I got them from this GB (emotionGarage) :redspot

What you have and what they are showing are two different pictures....

how are they different? they look identical to me and when I went to pick them up at the shop they had similar ones on display.

Better yet, You're local so why don't you drop by and pick them up. I think they have those clear crystal foglights now too.

Actually, I just went to the store and pick one this morning. The product looks great. Thanks Rivets!

They are still taking orders guys. Hurry up and get yours! Just ordered my set!!! Weee!!

I connected the wiring as per the instruction, but the angle eye doesn't work :shifty Can somebody provide a complete wiring diagram?

Thanls!

Hey people who bought into this GB, it seems that the relay to these lights have blown after about 2 months of use. Has anyone else experienced this? The relay states that it is designed for 12V/30Ah, but the battery from my E36 is giving out 75Ah. If your relay is the same as the one I got, then it might not last very long. I plan on creating a new relay that's designed for higher input. Any thoughts?

BTW, just to let you know, the kit comes with this wire harnes looking thing with relay and inline fuse covered in black condoit(sp?) and 2 sets of instructions.... Well, let me help you :D Put away the wiring harness and the instruction for its installation. Take the 2nd sheet which explains how to connect the pig tails to the headlights. The grey wire on the pig tails connects to the corner blinker grey/purple (dr) and grey/yellow(pass) sides for power to the DDEs. Got mine done in 30 min. Majic!

Any other Canadians got in on this? Is the wiring the same with our DRL? And how much customs/brokerage fees did you get charged?

yo dawg, i aint down wit dat. Well, I'm talking about the brokerage fee's. its a biatch if u use UPS. so i recommend something else. Does anyone have a better suggestion for the use of postage? Thx!
