Are these plug and play on my C32?
Hello all,
I've been searching the forum for this answer but I can't seem to figure it out.
Will these work if I have OEM xenon with the frosty lenses?

From searching, I've seen that people make the mistake of buying the depos that use H7 kits instead of the OEM D2R bulbs.
Also, will I be able to buy D2S bulbs and plug them in to my factory ballast or can I keep my OEM D2R bulbs for these headlamps?
Thanks!

hey man not to sure on the compatibility, but a much cheaper approach you can use the 3m headlight resto kit and if you take your time you can bring your lenses right back. save yourself a couple hundred.

Umm so far so good. I installed the passenger side today, but for some reason my passenger light turns on about a second later than my drivers side. Any ideas why?

Yes, I will post some pics in a day or two when I get some time. But saer1one, I don't think I ever had this problem with the frosties. Could it have to do with the DEPO wiring. Everything still works, just a slower turn on time for the passenger.

If you have the factory xenon which are adjustable automatically by buying these you will lose the auto adjust feature...mine weren't xenon originally but I bought a kit and added it to it I'm guessing if yours are already xenon that the harness is already in place so plug and play should be correct..please keep in mind you will have a decent light pattern even if you have 8k bulbs now they won't be exactly like the light pattern of your frosty ones but it'll be brighter just not the same pattern...retro gives you a great light pattern but most don't always care cause it's not bad going this route..while "retro" seems to take time and more money...there are links around the forum from I think "mbensl" that offers factory sets for like $1300...which in my position would be best 4 me but honestly very content with my current Depos which are the same bought years ago. You should be able to use your current xenon bulbs.
