DEPO Headlights
#16
Ordered from the other guy and saved the $80, which is KT Campus out of Walnut, CA.
Here's his stock photos of the headlights...I checked with Autodynamic and they said that this version doesn't have the hole/cap for the DRL board like the OEM DRL H/Ls.
Should have them late next Friday or followng Monday and probably post my photos when I get a chance.
One thing I noticed on the stock photos is that the lens on these appears to be the 2011 version without the "eyelashed" above the projector area.

Got coco7...to cancel, they are really a company called Autodynamic from El Monte, CA. They were real nice about it when I called. I asked if they would rather just price match the $80 saving but said they couldn't, so I just took the refund.

Awesome! I'm pretty excited to hear your feedback on them once you get them in. I've been considering buying myself a pair especially if I can keep the auto leveling feature.

I'm very happy with the quality for the money so far...only opened one. Didn't take any pix yet.

nope these are OE replacement type. Basically aftermarket crash parts for 2011+ but with halogen projectors. 2011 only came HID in the LED DRL from factory. Looks like DEPO saw a market for these vs the standard 2006-2010 type halogens.

I was on vacation since last week and was trying to upload the video from my iPhone to YouTube. I kept getting errors but haven't had time to try again from computer. I will try again later.
Side note, I noticed the seller has been steadily increasing his price from what I paid. I saw last week it was $415, now its $425. Must be getting more sales.

Also, while shopping around for these H/Ls. I found the HID OE replacement versions by Depo. These are designed as the aftermarket crash replacements. They don't come with ballasts/auto level motors though. You will have transplant your OEM ones into them.

Is it possible for you to install these lights with the current halogen projector, and let us know how the current projector performs. I want to install these headlights with my current xenondepot hid conversion kit but am not sure how the projector is going to perform.

From some of the ebay photos, the output is garbage compared to a proper HID/LED projector retrofit. I assume its similar output and projector to what they use on aftermarket 2006-2010 lights for the halogen 2IS.

Stay tuned...probably won't happen til late next week since I have a few business trips between now and then plus 3 young kids. Projects go slow in my house.

Great video . They definitely appear to be a high quality unit. They look nicely put together and the fact they include Phillips brand bulbs is pretty neat too . Just shows their attention to detail. Good work!
