Wrong Depo lights

Hey guys I messed-up. I ordered a set of Depo headlights, which arrived today and found out that they are for the 00-02. Just in case I have problems sending them back; does anyone know if there is a way to make them work on my 97 E320?

I would send them back or trade them with some one that made the opposite mistake. I guessing it would be a nightmare making them fit. You might have more issurs than just the brackets. The Depo lights are hard enough to line up even when you have the proper one. Also before you install the corret ones you might want to email Zam2000 about replacing the crap lens in the Depo lights. I lost about 70% of lights going with Depo but after replacing bulbs and lens I'm 120% over stock.
Good luck
Mario

The 96-99 and 2000-02 light have completely different mounting point (though they look similar), it would be PIA to make them mount, and even so, the look from the front is aweful (they're not identical in shape !!) , I would send them back, or offer to sell to local people w/ later model.

For anyone who's interest in Depo light, I can get you one for $410 shipped, within the US (forget those $379 deal you see on eBay, $50 S&H is mandatory, no local pick-up !!) whether you want 96-99 or later, price is the same.

Any sort of upgrade (lens, xenon..) is available.

I do open up everybox and verify before I shipped. Beside, most guy at the shop can't tell which one is for which, they just go by the label, which lot of time mess up.

Depo lens ? You get better luck w/ using lens from $1.99 flashlight
