Sorry to hear about the bad fitment of the "Depot" lights. I had a problem with them as well, a gap on the d/s one but heres what I did. I went up to PepBoys and got some thin vacumn line and made my own "gasket". Ofcoarse, I had to do the other side as well, hope this helps someone out

I know my car is dirty, but the weather here has sucked lately. Anyway, since I thought that the pic that I posted earlier didnt do the highs justice, here is a pic of the highbeams installed. They have quite a few different angles inside of them and reflect quite nicely in the day. You will also spot the D2S inside of them.  Chris, this gives you part of an idea on how they fit behind the pre-98 hood. Since I was supposed to get some other pics when I was doing the trans swap, I can provide more tomorrow if you want.

Right now just the highs. With it being my first attempt at adding HID, I wanted to do it in such a way that the car would still be driveable if I ran into problems, which I did. The bulb placement was wrong and I got some nasty effects with the pattern. After I correct that issue, the difference was amazing. Now I just need a bulb/ballast set, along with some cash to buy said set, and Ill have them in the lows as well. It will look nicer when I get my new covers built. They will flow with the car's curves better then these. And, since it will all be built with one type of plastic, the weather/temperature changes wont cause cracking between the plastics, which can be seen.

Ordered my projectors on the 11th and already got a new set of lights from the wreckers. A bit faded, but I got some Plast-x and hopefully some free time. At least the mounts are in tact !

i just emailed them to get an address to ship them back. Hopefully, i am still very disgusted at them, I recommend nobody buy their lights. I knew they were cheaper for a reason. They must have had a car that had gotten into an accident, and then fit the lights for that car using almost exact same style as the oem head lights.

I agree with you, the guy you bought it from is just a ditributor, he's a really good guy and I think its about time we all contact DEPO themselves and alert them of this problem, actually BIG problem! (hopefully a recall). They need to get new measurments in order to gain back the contour headlight market. I have nooo idea how to contact them though.

I tried doing a search on yahoo and google, not bringing anything up to contact them directly.

hmmm, in the picture where it shows the back of the depot lights, it kind of looks like u just do a little shaving around the lamp holes and you can just pop a projector right in there. Is it that easy?
