yes, it's the one that came with the depos. Strangely enough, the one for the passenger side works so I can only assume that those terminals line up. but if i pull the socket from the passenger side and put it in the driver side it doesn't work, so the alignment is definitely messed up with the ring on the actual housing, or that's what i think anyway.

does anyone know where i can get an ipod adapter for my car? i don't have command, it's just a normal radio and cd player head unit. the one from CarTronic is $549 and that's super expensive so i was wondering if there's anywhere to get a cheaper one. although not so cheap that it sux

Pics are coming soon! I left the working depo at my friends house since he has a good jack and I don't like using the trunk jack since it's only really made for a quick tire change in case you get a flat. Otherwise I would have done it myself! He's getting killed by his company, been working for 36 straight days from like 5am to about 9-10pm, rough! But we're planning on getting together this weekend and getting them in so it'll be soon!

Depos Finally!!!
Finally got the Depos in and working properly! Man is it a pain in the a$$ to remove and re-install headlights on this car, but it definitely feels accomplishing once complete.
So first I had to remove the wheel and the inner wheel well so I could get to the side screw holding in the headlight(there are 3 total).
Then after loosening the two screws at each end of the grille holding the bumper, i was able to move the bumper just enough to slide the lights out, and voila! the car with no headlights, no front wheels, jacked up, lol
Mounted the ballasts on the bumper support bar on both sides. it fit perfectly underneath the headlights with plenty of room for the wiring to not bend and strain itself.
Connected the ballasts, slid in the headlights and connected them, screwed them in place, put the bumper back in place, put the inner wheel wells back in place and put the wheels back on and...
Current list:
-Eurocharged ECU tune
-CF Front Lip
-CL Black Grille and Flat Hood Badge
-Brabus VI Reps 18x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear, Continental DWS, Eibach 10mm spacers in front(to clear caliper)
-K&N Filters
-AZN Optics full interior, trunk, and license plate LEDs
-Black Depos
-PIAA Xtreme white "city" lights
-Clear sidemarkers with PIAA Xtreme white bulbs

Looks great!
I did mine with the wheels on, and their 20's no less. Needless to say my arms were a bit cut up from the plastic inners. Hey, why didn't you mount the ballast to the underside of the Depo's where they have a spot molded for them?

The Depo looks very nice! I like the black housing.
BTW, I just picked up an AMG rear bumper for $25. Its a little scratched up and dented, but with a little work and money, I'm going to bring it back to life. It's going to be my first project this month.
