nice! just ordered the depo's for my car...

how's the light output at night when driving??? still see the road well, but less than stock right??

the install, it has the plug and everything on them already right? so just have to swap over my bulbs, then plug the headlight into the wiring harness and good to go...

next will be to find an all black upper front grill to replace the stock one with the chome on it, I hate that... all the other trim/molding on the car is black, and they put on a chromed front grill...

Light output is identical to stock, and it is plug and play.

So easy, even YOU can do it.

beeotch

just checkin.. cuz in that vid, the light/beam didn't look like it was as much light coming out of the headlight because of the black housing vs. the stock all chrome one which would reflect more light out...

The only difference is, there isn't the glare coming out the sides from the light reflected off the plastic lens. This doesn't really have any impact on throw because the missing the glare would have been scattered at the sides.

Do the cops give you problems for the blue running lights/ turn signals? That would get you pulled over in a heartbeat up here in NY...

My depo lights got delivered.... Look sweet! I checked the seal where the clear plastic meets the the black backing, and they have a decent amount of the black sticky stuff around it all... So they should be sealed good and not leak

I may put a bead of the flowable silicone around that black edge/sticky stuff tho, just in case.... But I dunno, I just want to get them on the car! LOL. They look awesome...

Post some pics when you're done Lew! I've been eyeing these for a while now and will probably jump on them when the car is out of storage
