[How-to] Depo Projector headlights Installed (Pics, Pics and more Pics)!!
Ok, story. I needed new headlights upon returning from korea after a year and finding mine had begun to fade and flake.
The Wife Under my direction got me the depo projectors for xmas. I already had the DDM tuning 35 watt hid kit Installed in my Eagle Eye aftermarket headlights.
The depo's were packaged very well and came with stock style Phillips bulbs.
BULBS ARE 9006 FOR LOW BEAM AND 9005 FOR HIGH BEAMS.
YOU'LL NEED ONE 9006 HID KIT. You do not have to run hids in the high beams. It's overkill and doesn't work well with flashing your lights.
Here you can see the cut off shield, it is flat unlike hid projectors which are curved toward lense, which im guessing leads to the downward curve on the outside of the beam.
Random unpacked pics.
Installing with hids is a breeze, instead of plugging in the 9006 bulbs, just plug in the hid ballast, its the same plug.
Previous light output with stock style headlights ( Looks low because my driveway is kinda down hill)
Cut off with the Depo projectors, no glare above cutoff and a nice multicolor cutoff line. After these pics I adjusted the lights a bit and widened the beam a tad. Even better. Its really hard to take accurate pics of light.
Over all Im very impressed with them. Paid about $110 on amazon for the depo's and about $20 for new 9006 5000k hid bulbs. So for the price. Im very happy.

!! Attention!! This is not a thread to advertise your for sale retrofit headlights, Take it to the classifieds. Also, we know that a true retofit with hid projectors will out perform this setup. Please refrain from stating the obvious over and over. This thread is to talk about the depo's.
