new LED Projector Headlight Pair
#503
How do the headlights work when the car is running? Currently, in the daytime, the LEDs at the bottom will be lit and the headlights completely off. With these headlights, is the "C" part lit as well during the day?

Parking lights on factory halogens = "C" light on aftermarket lights.
Low beam on factory halogens = projector on aftermarket.
High beam on factory halogens = projector shutter and "cornering" lights on aftermarket.
halogen signal on factory = LED strip signal on aftermarket.
You can run with your parking lights + LED DRLs on in the daytime by switching the light switch to the correct setting.

I've researched everywhere and tried all settings and cannot find anway to drive with only the DRLs and the "C" shaped parking light on. Even looked on even looked on AMG C63 forums (because the chances are higher for them to have the lighting package). They have the same issue.

they are also double the amount of the ones offered in this thread, I do like the self leveling offered on those ebay units.

If anybody in the Vancouver, Canada area are still looking to get a pair of DEPO projectors in black housing, shoot me a pm, was looking forward to do the install but traded in for another C250 with lighting package (and sports) instead.

Has anyone ever found a way to solve the problem of the high beam sticking on the DEPO C63 like headlamps?
I have read the whole thread but it seems like the only way people found to solve this was to disconnect the mechanism which in my mind is not a fix.
I was probably one of the first to buy this set back in May I think, and I did not buy it from the same seller as everyone else.
I just sent a quick video to the seller to show him what it actually does. The gentleman said he was going to contact his distributor once he has the photos of what's going wrong. I want a new set but I wish it will have a FIX!
Here is the video I sent him on request and I am presently waiting for his response: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQg-...ature=youtu.be
As you will see my left headlight stays on high beam even when it's cold or whatever I do. I could probably stick something in the socket to get is loose but that's not a fix.
Help please!

I wish there was an easy way to loosen that mechanism. I'm not going to risk to bake the headlight to open it up. If only we knew where it is stiff. I think I might remove the headlights to figure this out.

Finally installed mine after having free time.
Pain in the ***. took me and a buddy about 4 hours because it was such a tight fit everywhere. Haven't tried the brights yet but everything works great so far. Cutoff was also nearly identical to my halogens on the wall, and will adjust them after driving tonight

yeah I read that. Well I only had halogen bulbs on mine, though I bought a Lumens (canadian made brand) HID kit today which I will install as soon as my headlight problem is solved.

I was able to drive for a while with the new projectors.
1. Damn these things are nice. I can see so much better now, and they look fantastic
2. The brights are not halogen as another user said. The cornering lights are halogen, but the actual brights down the road are the bi-xenon
3. The cornering lights are a yellow halogen, so eventually I will change them to try to match the 6000k output
4. Zero issues with shuttering for me. I used the brights at least 30 times with no issues.

I found an easy solution to fix this problem. The only negative point is that you need to remove the headlamps from the car in order to fix them.
I will post a link to a video I made later this week when I have time. For those who have the same problem it will be a great day just like it was for me today.
Basically all you will need to do is give a little bit of free play to that shutter which is too stiff. I will try to post my link with explainations before next week-end.
Cheers!
