Braeden320 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 What is the quality of this unit like? Could be keen on a set for the mondeo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sxctme 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 What is the quality of this unit like? Could be keen on a set for the mondeo Well according to them "same quality as those from United States, Japan, Taiwan and other developed countries and regions" I guess if they can warranty them they cant be too bad I might see if they will send a smaller shipment as a test run to see what they are like Attached a pic of mondeo ones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 To be honest I can't at all see that the quality is going to be the same as a $200 set of angels with lifetime warranties. I looked into angel eyes for over a year until I settled on a set of Orions from Umnitza. Might be more expensive but worth it. From all the people I have met through trade me dealings and through Bimmersport I can easily say over 70% have had problems with cheap trade me kits. You get what you pay for. My 2c.

I doubt they are top of the range like your set, but just thort its worth a try If they are going to stop working it would hopefully be within the first year and then they are under warranty. And if not hey they were only $30 bux no big drama You do get what you pay for But i guess how much does a plastic ring and some little lamps really cost to manufacture ? and these are straight from the manufacturer so no middle men which might contribute to the cheap price. Dont know till someone trys them i guess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 I will take a set for my E36, This is a good way to try them out at a cheap price, Run them for a month or so and if you like them and the way they look then i would look at investing in a higher quality set like Nicks.
