Anyone buy the DEPO 'jdm' black housed headlights yet?

they're getting pretty cheap, think i might pull the trigger on a set. my lights are all faded and most of the mounts were broken when i got the car.

These things look AWSOME!! I think the price might drop another 20 bucks then I'm SO pulling the trigger. I'm not sure I can wait that long though.

I think these are going to look sooooooo good with my new altezza tail light, and just try to imagine some hYper wHitE's in those corners. I'll post pics.

that's awesome, where'd you get the altezza's from? you SO have to post pics when you get'em. Don't like hyper whites, amber ftw.

so i found the thread with the green one. might pull one or two pics into PS and paint the car black.

i obv don't mind the corners or i wouldn't have made the thread.

I already blackhoused my oem's but as i said they're in pretty rough shape. oh and i noticed somebody mentioned baking the headlights to open them? who's the crack smoker that came up with that?

No idea, but I did it and it worked WAYYY better than the heat gun I used IMO.



I am thinking of picking up a passenger one just for the pasenger lens. As good as I wetsanded it, there is a big difference compared to the new driver light.

I have to agree the lights look ok but once on the car the sides look horrible. Judging by the fact that they are sold on ebay they will be crap quality. Just do it yourself

Not true, I have a set of normal Depo headlights and they're the same quality as OEM.
