WTB: Depo C63 headlight (Passenger Side Only)

By any chance would anyone be selling a working issue-free Depo C63 passenger side headlight only? This would be for the facelift models (2012-2014). My passenger headlight is having issues with the "C" parking lamp. Although the problem is intermittent, I'm getting the itch to replace it soon.

Thanks.

Hey, I know this doesn't solve your issue but I'm looking at purchasing the Depo headlamp and wanted your take on the 4300k v 6000k they offer directly from Unique Style Racing. I saw you posted your vehicle pic at the below thread and it looks fantastic. Do they match up pretty well with the lower DRLs? Does the C bar stay on as a DRL as well ?

6000k at night looks amazing and matches C and DRLs in my opinion. During daylight, I will admit, and when the 6000k's are cold they do have a blue tint. I have no experience with 4300k but I've read they match factory look but looked too white/yellow for me.

The C parking lights do not stay on as DRLs. I believe Canada and other countries have the cars coded differently but US models CANNOT drive with both DRL on and C parking lamp on (with headlights off). I've googled every possible way to change this but beside wiring mods it can't be done.

Hope that helps.

You won't regret the depo lights. They look amazing. Even though I have the intermittent C parking light issue. They still look WAY better than the nasty factory halogens.

I really appreciate the detailed response. Sorry to hear about the C parking light issue with your set and it's unfortunate they don't stay lit as DRLs during the day but I can overlook that. Like you said, anything is better than those ugly factory halogens...

I'll stick with the 6000k because I don't typically have mine on during the day anyhow. If you think they are quality at night, i'll go that route. I just don't want a cheap look on an expensive vehicle if you know what I mean. Those who just install the HID Conversion Kits aren't doing it right. You've got to install projectors!

Thanks again
