I have the depo projectors and thought the cut off was OKAY but now that i bought projector foglights that cut off is wayyyyy cleaner than my depos. Now my question is, how difficult is it to retrofit the FX R into the depo..? Has anyone used the FX Rs to retrofit yet??

BlkBenz8

NEVERRRR! haha jk its actualy engine enamel paint, i just really liked the color and the gloss gave it the perfect shade

havoc_vulture

LOL
I went purple but they do not stand out at all :P
so i thought that color

BlkBenz8

Yeah i cant really tell by your sig.. My previous set up had lambo orange I really liked that color but since im from san jose and our hockey team is the sharks.. So i went with teal and im adding an orange tow hook soon.

havoc_vulture

I really like the teal. The purple is cool and all but it does not pop like i thought it would

Ill let you guys know if there good or not. But honestly im not to crazy about the lighting. just if it looks good. Ill be satisfied with them im sure.

Kdaddy

Let me know how those work out for you, been interested forever in upgrading to projectors. Thanks for the link!

Several of us have these lights. I'm not aware of anyone who is disappointed with theirs. They are not as good as the OEM Bi-Xenon lights but they are a fraction of the cost. When you get them, be sure you have Xenon=present programmed by a Star Diagnostic computer.

romoguy15

Yea sure man, ill let you know how it goes. I can try to post pics too if i can. It will probably be about a week or so till they get shipped.

romoguy15

I do have access to a diagnostic computer, and i did buy the lights with hid. So i have to program it in the computer that I have xenon?

ncmudbug

Yep! You know more about the Star Diagnostic system than I do (I know almost nothing) but that's what has to be done. The setting is "xenon=present".

romoguy15

Im still learning how to use it my self. You could actually fry the cars computer if you dont know what ur doing.lol But i think i have an idea of what needs to be done. Thanks for the advice!

I just got my depo headlights in yesterday and im really satisfied with them, These headlights are really nice. I had no trouble putting them on. They look good, especially if u have the old fogged up original lights. All the lights work. I had them install 6000k instead of 8000k.

phister

you don't want more than 6k because after that you lose light output visibility. it may seem brighter from the outside but inside the car you can't see as well. 4300 gives you the best visibility since it produces the most natural light output.

romoguy15

Yea thats what ive heard. I said 6000k is the highest ill go. My brother got 8000k on his bimmer and it isnt that bright, They do look good though. Im really happy with them.

romoguy15

Btw, i didnt have to program the car with the computer. They work perfectly. No codes or anything

ncmudbug

Cool!

On my E55 OEM lights i was just able to swap out the OEM lens for the ZKW-R lens to get better lighting and cutoff. If I swap out my halogen C230 lights for these Depos could I not just swap out the lens and better better performance? I just dont see the point of buying these and then a set of proj housing/lens and having to modify it all to fit.

If this has been answered sorry but there is so much around reading it all was taking some time.
