Orion Lite COB LED Angel Eyes by Umnitza Review
Decided it was time to rip out my old CCFL angel eyes after the driver's side burned out. They were too dim to begin with and were barely noticeable in even moderate sunlight, such as the evening. After some research, I decided to go with Umnitza's Orion Lite angel eyes, which cost me around $100 (including shipping and taxes) found here:

I decided to do this short write up because 1) there was little to no information on this product when I was looking up information; 2) the product is absolutely fantastic and 3) Umnitza's customer service is amazing.
For the install I followed this guide exactly: http://www.fastm.com/m3/angeleyes_orionv2.html
As for what came in the box:
(Dirty fingerprints are mine from replacing my spark plugs prior)
The harness which includes your connectors, fuse, ground, taps etc. They also ship you clips and double sided tape for mounting the rings (the PO had zip-tied the old rings, so I decided to use zip-ties again).
Since these are the Orion LITES (and not the v2/v4's), the angel eyes needed to be connected wire-to-wire first. Not a hard task, and not complicated at all. Just thought I'd share since I got stuck here myself.
and lastly....
Verdict?
I'm very happy and satisfied with the way they turned out. They are bright as hell, even in direct sunlight and look absolutely magnificent at night. The quality is very good and I'm convinced that they will absolutely last for a long time. It's a great feeling when I'm stopped in traffic and can see the rings glaring back at me off of the reflection from the car in front of me. These are far superior than any other 'ebay' budget knockoffs could ever try to be.
Umnitza shipped me these pretty quickly (about a day later, I am in CA). Their customer service is one of the best that I've ever dealt with. I was stuck at one of the installation steps and Tim happily assisted me with figuring it out. He even put one of the shop's techs on the phone to better explain where I was stuck. That alone is worth mentioning since this was my first time installing these and didn't want to look like a complete n00b.
Bottom line: easy install, work great, look great, high quality, great service and overall a great decision.
