Umnitza Predator ICE™ LED Angel Eyes

Has anyone bought these, Umnitza Predator ICE™ LED Angel Eyes Upgrade for LCI Models (H8)? They look good if they have the same output as the 1 series which looks like a hatch on the thread (pictures posted below, which I did see a few on a thread in this forum)
I was told by the company the E92 model will fit.
I searched the forums and only saw a post about the PIAA bulbs from them and also that the company was shaky.
Link to thread I found them on:

Those look awesome, better than the cheap GP Thunder bulbs I have. I wonder if they lower in brightness when the xenon's are on like they do with my GP Thunders

I had Predator ICE Chromiums on my E46. They only worked in temperatures greater than 65. The build quality was horrible, although they did have lifetime warranty. I sent for replacement ballasts after driving through a TS. The replacement parts were even worse than the originals, I had to rip them apart and solder it all to avoid shorting out.

I'd like to hear some customer opinions on the LED type. Love the look. What about heat issues?

When the worked, they were BA.

We carry the MyCarr ICE System who is the manufacturer for the Predator ICE. It's a great upgrade for OEM angel eyes to change out the color to a pure xenon white. Please note that these will ONLY work on the pre-08 models. The 08+ models use an H8 Bulb which we have a separate product for to upgrade.

LEDs operate at significantly less temperature and power draw than the stock halogen incandescent bulb so heat is not a problem.
