LOL my clips barely made it a day or two and almost all of them broke. My halos were all catty wumpus.

Tom took care of me. New clips are 100% weeks later. I run the car hard, so if they hold up for me they should hold up for anyone.

I was very careful not to spread the new clips too far when fitting them. I dont know if that helps or not.

Hi Tom! Glad you came on! I knew you would

For me its definitely an issue with the clips, not the brightness or anything. Anyone who has seen them can't believe how bright they are and the brightness actually matches very well with the Xenon lights.

Hope the new clips work!

After a few weeks my clips broke on one side, the other side is still good a couple months later. Like every one said Tom was great and sent me some new clips. I don't know if they are the new ones or not, I am not home now to get the package.

Seems to me that all the angel eyes are just a huge PITA.

Not really. I replaced the clips myself in maybe half an hour or less. I did niot even fully remove the headlights from the car. Just the lenses.

They LOOK incredible. I have them hardwired as DRL's along with my fogs.
Next are HID fogs!

Yeah, easy for you to say since you didn't go through all the earlier crappy designed ones from Umnitza....

Just get them. They look amazing. I've become a pro in removing the lens covers to fix the clips, but it just looks too nice not to have them on.

Thanks to EAS for hooking me up with the new clips when I visited Cali on vacation. The staff are genuinely nice people. Their E92 M3 is looking amazing. Can't wait to pick one of those up.

Cheers,
