OK, I have been reading the sticky and have decided that I want HID's and projectors. Problem is I am not really great working on stuff and I think I would screw up doing a retrofit. I would like to purchase a ;set of projector headlights, but as the sticky said, all the ebay ones are junk. I like the looks of these and like that I can get a matching headlight/signal light......

however, I know they are probably junk. The sticky did say something about Depo's. Does anyone have any personal experience with them (running them stock)? would that be this set that I found?

Thanks for your input!

Anything on eBay pre-made with a projectors sucks.

Need to do a proper retrofit. Imo

I'm the type that can't put together a snap together model.i know if I tried, they would either not work, look like shit, not seal, o something. I would like a good quality plug and play headlight. The sticky said that the Depo's people have had luck.......

Well you can always half ass it with the Depo projectors off of ebay. They're obviously not on par with retrofitted OEM projectors but they happen to project a pretty decent output with an acceptable cutoff.

I'm not sure what model they are specifically but I'm sure some of the NBS folks will know to tell you. Also, if I'm not mistaken they're pretty easy to take apart and retrofit if you ever feel like taking that on, but again double check this with the NBS nerds cause they'll know. :)

I just did this with my eBay projectors, heat gun opens them up easily. Swapped in a set of mini h1 projectors and they are way better than the projectors that came with the headlights. But it does take some work and some fab skills. There's people that you can pay to do it though.

Not right off hand, I think in the hid thread there are people talking about who they had do theirs.
