Here they are installed. I did run into some issues on the driver side after install, the adjustment screw on the top didn't work. It would just spin and not adjust the light. The passenger side was good. I am guessing the driver side was so far off because of it being broken and not adjusted correctly.

Instead of getting a replacement I just took the old bracket off the stock light (it feels a lot more solid btw) and added it to the new light. Worked like a charm.

I will get some better pictures tomorrow ... edit: slightly better, didn't feel like taking out my Canon.

So I received my Depo lights today from Amazon. Gotta say, I'm a little disappointed in the finish. The black stripping that goes around the bezel "breaks" near the top outside corner of the light. Looking at the pics in this thread doesn't seem to be an issue when the hood is closed as that area is covered, but did anyone elses lights come like this? Maybe I just got a bad set, but both the left and the right have the break in the stripping.

I had installed Depo lights on my wife's 02 Monte last year (ordered from Amazon as well) and was/am happy with those. Her stockers were condensing up and were getting old/hazed. These Camaro ones don't seem to have the same finish as those did.

Looks really awesome on a black car. Hopefully they will look good on my red camaro with silver hockey stripes, and my front stock grille painted gloss black with red CAMARO inserts.

Only fitment problem I have is the drivers side light towards the middle is really snugged up against the bumper, that it makes a hump in the rubber that is pulling away from the headlight

^^Insidethreat07- Looks like they missed a small spot on the inner part of the high beam section, although they still look good. Depo should consider painting the bottom section of the lenses, they would look much better and more complete IMO

Yea I was thinking the same thing about the bottom. You sure they missed a spot? Maybe its a glare off the lights. Ill have to take another look next time I drive it
