Put mine on today. Have fitment issues on the driver side. The gap at the bottom on the driver side is much larger then with the oem lights.

Do you have them aimed properly or did you just mount them?

Try swapping the Depo mounting bracket with the stock one. That should help out with the spacing issue.

This is my 2nd set of aftermarket headlights (1st set were non-projectors) and neither fit like the stockers, gap-wise. But if you can make out in the pic below, I put a strip of rubber weatherstripping along the edge of the bumper opening, just below the headlight. And it looks good.

Aim them first, then see how the gap is. If they are badly misaimed you'll get bad gaps like that.

I had a pretty bad gad like that but after I aimed them most of the gap went away. My only problem is on the driversside on the inner part of the light. The rubber is like pinched causing to push the rubber up on the inside part of the headlight

Just ordered me a set. After seeing the last few pictures of them on cars, it swayed me.

I tried restoring my oem lights twice, and still wasn't satisfied, so I caved and bought depo whistler lights off of amazon for like $130.

Resurrecting a slightly old thread here, but I have a question on these lights.

I plan on ordering them in a couple of days, but I want them to be protected so the yellow haze never returns to these headlights, and so they stay clear and polished as long as possible. So here is my noob question, where do I get the clear coat to apply to these? and how would I go about doing it?

One additional question, I'm trying to purchase these full whilstered Depo headlights. However, it's very tough to find them. The link for Amazon that has been passed around this thread for months now is still up, but that seller is now out of stock....

The only other place I found them was Ebay, but they sell for $250 on there! And of all places...Sears. Is there anywhere else I can get these headlights? Or is this set of healights from Sears the real and legit set?

seems like sears is doing what amazon does and being a 3rd party seller. I would e-mail the seller and ask if they have them in stock.

They got recalled due to some problems, as mentioned earlier. Once they have more available you'll be able to buy them again.

Patience.
