might b able to put ur gm stuff on the depo's

You know, that is an excellent idea there.

I have noticed the slight shake in the DEPO's since I installed them, certainly didn't think about removing the old OEM brackets and trying to mount them on the DEPO's instead .. it's raining here today, but will hit that up as soon as it clears.

Post up what you find out. I'm betting the gm bracket won't line up perfectly.

i ordered some depo's for my hoe... but i was thinking...
whats the big deal with projectors?
reason i mention it is i just bought a G35 infinity that has some bright ass hid's (STOCK) in it but the housing isnt a projector...
looks great, i havent yet had anyone flash me in the tahoe or infinity.
though i will say with the tahoe behind me with the g35 being rather low to the ground... my lights in the tahoe are bright as hell but not blinding, just irritating to see in the rearview or side mirrors seeing that the truck sits up so much higher

What year is your Infinti? If it's '06 or up, it has projectors.

Some cars do use HID in reflector housings, but they are reflector housings designed specifically for HID's.

Problem with HID's in most reflectors is the reflectors aren't designed to focus that much light, which generally results in massive glare issues.

That's a good question. They have weird headlights.

HID lamps are an option, but not standard, and those are adaptive, auto-leveling. Not sure if they use a projector or some other mechanical shield to control the light. I'll look into it more later. Gotta head out the door to get my truck fixed....lol.

Might depend on the year/model as well, so if you have one in particular in mind let me know.

I'm getting both headlights assemblies tomorrow, so we'll see what they look like.

Will someone please post a pic showing their stiffening methods? I am tired of hearing about and not seeing it....and not 100% tracking on your descriptions of ping pong balls and flat screen mounts. Gotta see it to believe it before I take a can of insulating foam to my front end! Hey, that would work!

PS - I am starting a new forum, DEPOprojectors.com where we can talk about lights with out all this truck nonsense! Ha ha

Well, with a little lubriderm on your ping pong balls, you will likely not need pics to witness stiffness..

Sorry, I had to go there-
