Default Umnitza vs AAC


Umnitza

AAC
Which one do you think looks better?
Umnitza has both round bulbs while the AAC has oval bulbs for the high beams
Also if someone has pictures of Angel eyes that they installed could you post it

thank you

umm how about neither.. why would you want BMW owners to laugh at you anyway? The IS has it's own unique qualities to it no need for these lights.

I have AAC Angel eyes and black painted housing in both headlights and fog lights. I am happy with them.

It is tough to tell from the picture though the difference.

Is there a site for umnitza? Always looking for the top end quality.

The reason I like the look of AAC halos is that they are not like the BMW. They are sleek, and thin, where as the BMW looks more halogen. Yes, it is a nice detail and no reason it cannot be adapted to other applications. In my opinion it is not a copy from another car.

With that said does anyone know if the Umnitza halos are thin like AAC or have a fuller rounder bulb like the BMW?...

I just spoke to Umnitza people. They were unaware AAC had a kit. Their lights are exactly the bimmer lights, fuller with chrome backing.

As mentioned I am very happy with the fitment of my lights from AAC and they can do a fog. Umnitza cannot, nor will they do install, AAC will. I think the fuller bulb would not look as good in the IS as it does in other cars lie BMW. Our healdights are sleeker in nature, therefore I woudl still go with AAC, but for me it is purley aesthethic. Umnitza may very well have a better quality light but Justin does good work and I vouch for him.

Will post pics later today for everyone.

Umnitza gets my vote, they look good on the IS.

Only thing that scares me about doing the install is opening up your light housing, so expensive to replace if something screws up.
