Something I found..

Im planning on doing my retrofit with depo projectors. I found this website/link that may help others as well. It is a step by step instruction for a RSX retrofit.

Let us know how It turns out.. Im considering of switching my headlamp to the projector type, but may consider retrofitting.

I am also aware that depo projectors may tend to have a less focused light, womder if its true..

That looks like so much work.. Good luck getting the dust out once you open it up.

Be aware that when putting into the oven, you may need to go higher temperatures. When i took apart my aftermarket projectors, the sealant wouldn't melt under 250 degrees. If your plastic on the headlights start to leave impressions while prying apart, then you need to increase the temperature. It should come apart without damaging the housing.

this is why i'm going to buy the depos and do a retrofit...

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ht-cutoff.html

From my understanding and searching from this forum the DEPO projectors are suppose to be exact repliaces of the E55. The Depo lenses themselves are 2.75 inches. and the E55's are 3 inches. The TSX's are 2.5

This website has helped me a lot!. But i'm definitely going to EBAY when buying the parts!
