Headlight install (Depos)
I got a set of DEPO projectors, these are direct housing replacements, no need to do HIDS, no need to re code. everything in the electrical sense is identical. Since I couldnt find a HOW to on the headlight swap, I thought i'd put one up.
first remove the front bumper (this is only tricky in one spot) it's well covered in this thread: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=224260& after the bumper is off, take the brackets underneath the headlights, they have two torx(t30) towards the middle of the car, a torx(t30) through the hole here and then the 10mm screw under the edge here they take a little bit of wiggling, but they come out enough with that bracket loose to take the other top fasteners off and one more on the inner edge (another t30) and it's out! swap over the bulbs (I would actually recommend while theyre out changing in new bulbs because doing it while theyre in the car is a bit of a pain) and reinstall everything. now you have awesome headlights like me.

took me probably 2.5hrs.
it took me about 20 mins to find all the fasteners for the support piece. also another hangup is those tabs on the sides of the bumper, I used a credit card to dig them out, it should be done with a body tool. |

Have you washed the car or had rain that caused condensation in the headlights? Is there anything that you did in the install process to minimize the chances of this? Thanks. Looks great!

like i said, i bought them second hand, i would assume they were like this from the factory.
if youre having trouble with yours, contact the company you purchased them from, im sure they can help you out. |
