    Just to let you all know...

    I wasn't really happy with quality of Depo lights in terms of their custom made/hand-work.
    Sorry, but I had to disassembly mine and do some corrections.
    Actually nowadays, those build myself from eBay kit costed 200 USD plus shipping, but look much better.

    Swinks,

    I must admit I wasn't overly impressed with the quality of the standard Depo replacment lights I have fitted. The fit of the indicator unit to the main housing is poor and overall finish isn't great but that's why they are a quarter of the price of Mitusbishi units. These projector units at $250 are fantastic value and saves many of us the time needed to work on building our own.

    Yes, agree.
    I said that just to make people aware of quality, 'cos those headlights look much better on pictures than in reality.

    Don't get me wrong, quality isn't great but you can see from most of my pics that they certainly function correctly and look great once fitted. There's perhaps just a couple of places they could fit better.

    Well, my issue was:
    projector unit was covered by alluminium selfadhesive foil, there was huge (in my standards) "hole" or space between a mirror and projector. Angel eyes made from cheap CCFL white pipes.
    Looked all right from a distance, but in close distance look awful, cheap, and really hand-made.
    Overall, price was 230 USD for 1-projector unit (hi beam remained as regular).
    Here's picture of Depo unit after my altering:


    Now, I've built myself projectors from eBay kit. Same unit as Depo (1-projector only for headlamp) should cost no more than 150 USD incl. shipping.
    Mine was build as double projector headlights. More here:

    Here final results:




    That's why I'm saying to be aware of quality.
    Final word is yours...
