It seems like they are depos and all they did was install HIDs to them. You are basically paying 110-120 bucks extra because of preinstalled HID.

You can get depos for 280 and get DDM HIDs for 35 do the HID install yourself which is very easy and save some money

I got it from ebay but it seems that seller is not there.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DEPO-...Q5fAccessories

See if the seller is willing to lower the shipping price to make it close to 280.

Here is the HID kit. Seems the DDM one went up a bit as well.

This one is the raptor which is think is same **** but DDM ballast are slimmer.

Hey Karo,
Do you like the cutoff of the ones that you bought??
I checked the listing, it says for 01-05 will this fit on my 07....I am really intrested and the seller has dropped the price to 269 or some thing??
What type of bulb does these use??

Let me know, you input is very critical Karo for my purchase. I will install a 5000k-6000K bulb in it.

Thankx
Javvy

Hey Javvy,

A lot of people complain about the cutoff but I am perfectly fine with it. I would go ahead and buy it. I personally like the light output and the look of the headlight.

You will need H7 for the headlight (exact same bulb that you have in your headlight now) and for the fogs if you wanna go HID you will need 9006.

Follow this Do It Yourself to see how to change headlight.

Karo's headlight setup is quite nice. I met up with him in a dark parking lot one night for some late nite cuddles and managed to sneak a few photos before his roofie wore off.
I'd post more but I don't wanna post his plate w/out asking lol.

javvy,
my take on those projectors is that since its made for a d2s bulb the output would be better than buying the regular depos since the projector is designed for xenon. Just my opinion though, hard to say for sure without having them.

Flip them bro. The stupid clips are weird. Flip it so it doesn't clip in.

I don't know if you guys noticed but the bulb in the Pics are D2S (notice the single prong). That's NOT the same as your typical H7 HID bulb(s). As far as it being "german" projector, ask the seller what brand is the "german" projector and give you cut off light pictures and to guarantee you that what ever he is picturing you in the cut off pics that you are getting the same product/performance.

Other than that, Retro Acura/Infinity projectors FTW yo!

They probably make it that way so you can take it to the dealer

But don't worry you have us and were always here to give a helping hand

I hate dealers, I have had my share of arguments and my share of being ripped off (didn't let it happen) and I have seen those sneaky rats in action.
