i was just wondering why such a significant price reduction on the projector39
AE conversion for the e39. i have a 97 540i/6 and had a front end collision and was going to get these to replace the whole lighting system. would i need anything else besides this unit? 767 to 399 sounds good to me thankfully i did't get them b4

thanks all

Ok, let me get this straight. I get this look for $399 on my 2000 E39 w/oem xenons? That looks like xenons on that picture with angel eyes.

They are projectors, just like stock projectors, but they aren't xenon.
You will have to get it from elsewhere.

Thanks for the clarification.

Now, does anyone else know where to get a xenon kit to use in these projectors?

thx

so what, you guys dont sell xenon projector39's anymore?

Can my stock D2S system work with these light?

so what, you guys dont sell xenon projector39's anymore?
um... yeah...

Thanks for the clarification.

Now, does anyone else know where to get a xenon kit to use in these projectors?

thx
thexenonstore.com will sell you one.

so you no longer selling any xenons? what went on there?

you know HID's are illegal to some degree. (http://www.z06vette.com/forums/printthread.php?t=59997)

In the end, we made a business decision to support our clients with DOT products.

Prolumen will continue to indefinitely support our customers, so factory support is not an issue:)

We will be happy to discuss anything on the phone if you have questions.
The good and bad news is that now without Xenons, the price is much more attractive, the bad news is that we've had a quickly diminishing supply of these:)

This is the deal ... i have simple questions and i want umnitza to answer .... The photo that is above is of the exact headlights we will be recieving for 399 dollars ......

Will These headlights work with my aftermarket hid kit ?

The angle eyes are an hid type color correct ?

The corners are orange or clear ?

These Are brand new ?

designed for xenon cars ?

What would be needed to install these on my 97 e39 with custom hid ?

If u can answer ill these questions ill take a set .... i would still like a raw pic of the headlight

Yes, it is

Will These headlights work with my aftermarket hid kit ?

Don't know what kind you have and cannot advise at this time on this. The headlights use a DOT Halogen H7.

The angle eyes are an hid type color correct ?

That is correct.

The corners are orange or clear ?

They are whatever color bulb you can legally put in there. So if you have an orange bulb it will be orange.

These Are brand new ?

These are brand new. We don't sell used. Ever.

designed for xenon cars ?

Designed for 97-2000 E39s, xenon or non-xenon.

What would be needed to install these on my 97 e39 with custom hid ?

Mostly a plug and play system depending on your aftermarket HID

If you want to get a detailed image, we have many different angles of it on the photo gallery, here's one:

Is there anyway to use my stock D2S system with these lights?
If yes,i will grab a set right away.

I would stay as far away from eBay hids as possible.

there isn't anything wrong with HID kits from ebay.

is that because they're competition or thexenonstore sells a equivilant product?

Its going to be hard to get warranty on the HID kit from ebay but then again if the kit is good you wont need warranty.

Personally,i think $315 is too much for an HID kit.
If anyone is interested i will sell HID kits at wholesale prices to bimmerforums members only.

without getting into a flame war.. i think that was a very mis-guided statement. Its not "Ebay" you shoud stay away from, its the cheap sh*t people choose to buy to save a buck. Ebay has a TON of great deals on great products.

There are crap parts out there that crap companies sell.. whether it be on ebay or on any forum/message board. Those are the things consumers should stay away from.

price correlates w/ quality.. at least that is the case IMHO.

For whatever it is worth - I have purchased the Projector39s from umnitza and am happy with what I got for the price I paid. They have their minor draw backs, but are very OE looking and the rings match my HIDs exactly. Even though they are no longer selling HIDs...they still have good prices and products.

On another note - I have also purchased from m_specs (eBay HIDS) and would HIGHLY recommend his products. He is VERY familar with the e39 and won't sell crap. The statement by umnitza is not true for the HIDs listed above.

Also, you can look at EuroSport Design for true OEM Hella replacements...nothing beats OEM.

Wow, $315 is cheap for HIDs. I can remember when HIDs were $500 minimum. I have found time and time again with BMWs..you get what you pay for. If you want cheap HIDs, don't plan on having the bulbs last a year or so.

Hey man if u dont mind ...i would like to see a pic of your headlgihts on your car because i am not sure what i see on umnitza gallery .... and what are your draw backs ?

OK . for dumb people like myself, WTF is HID!

Is HID and Xenon the same thing?

I have stock 1999 projector headlights with no AE ... Are yo guys telling me that if I buy the HUD bulbs, they will effectively become xenon headlights?

HID - high intesity discharge, same as Xenon. it is more than just bulbs. they have ballast also

Ok .. So, what is the difference between what umnitza is selling (peojector headlight with AE) and what I see on ebay for 125 dollars less?

you got to be kidding me. you couldn't pay me $250 to put those ugly ass headlights on my car. go and buy a honda if you like that style IMO

hahah .. I literally JUST looked into the picture really well .. hahahahahahaha

I agree .. if you pay me I would not put them on my car .. hahahahah

$500? wow! about 4 years ago when i was driving an Acura Legend i bought those stolen xenon lights from the 99 and up Acura TL for $100 :alright

OEM rocks but $1000 for the headlights from eurosport is very steep.
I definately need a better deal then that,i just need angel eyes to work with my OEM D2S system.
These prices are making me not even want to get angel eyes,just get smoked corners and call it a day.

The draw back to my Projector39 HIDs is the daily check low beam that pops up on my OBC. Not a big deal, but annoying. Other than that, they were a good buy.

ny540i, they enhance the looks of your car very much. it is much more than just projectors.

yea.. thats unfortunate that it happens to some of the cars.. you can purchase resistor packs if you want to get rid of that light.. PM if youre interested, and i'll see if i can have one put together for you.

Nothing is more annoying on this car than a OBC "ding" going off everyday. I had my fill with my rear lights when I kept replacing bulbs then finally got the dealer to trace the problem down to a melted light housing on the rear deck.

I may just stay stock and then buy an M5.

well do the AE's light up like the red e39 does in your picture gallery?

No no, I'm sorry, I guess I didn't make it clear... I'm talking about the burgandy/red night shot of the m5 in the pic below. Do the rings you are selling for $399 light up identical to it?

Also, do you have any of the projectors that don't have the seperation in the plastic between the lights and the turn signal? and if so... how much?

My projector39s light up like this M5s do. They VERY bright and light up my whole garage when I pull in. But the seperation is how the DEPO projector39 lights are made. The hellas have a smooth rounded interior housing. I am assuming you are refering to the black plastic inside the light housing.

to be honest here, umnitza's P39's are really bright but i've had some trouble with them. one was fogging up which matt replaced promptly and now one of the rings stopped working; trying to figure out why. it's only been a year since i had and installed them. i am really thinking about going Hella but i can't stand the yellow rings. wish they were white like P39's.

Can somone from this forum take a pic of their p39's with lights on and off ...

Im probably going to do Hella too to keep my D2S.
How much are you getting the Hellas for?
$1000 for a set is just way too much for a set of lights.

We will be doing a group buy on the hella oem D2S very shortly.

We'll need 10 people and your prices will likely be around $900ish.

I have 6000k hids in my low beams with the matching rings. They have been installed on my car for about 9-10 months. I paid $800 for everything, but I want to hear from umnitza about the group buy first. That way I can sell these projector39s.

If I were to buy the P39's, would you still have the same replacement warranty on parts? Are the rings still xenon colored or yellow like Hella's? Thanks in advance! I've been saving up for my P39's and this thread is disheartening.

Rings are xenon colored. Replacement warranty on parts, yes, same one.

Which parts are disheartening?

I wann talk to someone with p39's ... i wanna know if they are the same as helas pretty much

well, at the rate we're getting them out the door, you'll soon have more than a few opportunities.

They are the closest thing you are going to get to Hellas. I am going to upgrade to Hellas, only because I want the OEM look.

contact 318qship.. hes got some comments about his p39s. imo.. if you can get a deal on hellas, get them.

Ok, good news, we've figured out (we think) a way to get you the OEM hella look for under $900 with Xenons.
BUT, we won't know until we test out the car with Saltwater. THat will happen later next week.

i have hellas.. im sure the p39s are cool.. i just like the hellas better..

Good morning everyone! I took today off in order to sign for my new P39's coning today. Just moved up from an e36 1996 328i sport package to a e39 1997 528i. I plan on doing some mods as usualu and this forum is the best. I bought the Projector 36's from Matt @ umnitza as well. I had tons of compliments on those as well. It's nice to work have great customer service with his company too. I'll let you guys know how the install went.
