Sorry for the late reply, was busy with my Miata project. Anyways, the Depo housing was around $170 shipped and the 50W HID's were $54 shipped. Separate sellers! I wouldn't trust those headlight/HID combos. Unless you've had previous experience with the seller, most likely you'd be unsatisfied with those kits. Do some research on e36 Depo Ecodes and you'll see what I mean. Yes they're cheap but they are by no means low quality. They're not superior to real OEM projectors but they better than those Chinese knockoffs. Good luck!

Looks good! I'm glad you're happy with the set you got. Condensation usually means that the housing isn't/wasn't sealed properly. I suggest a teaspoonful worth of instant rice wrapped in a small breathable bag and place it inside of the housing. The rice will suck up all the moisture so make sure to remove it the next day otherwise you'll have molds growing in your new headlights. Also, those silicone baggies usually found in new shoes works great so if you have those lying around, I suggest using those instead.

Take some pics of it installed, I want some similar ones for my car, are the angle eyes really that bright?

[beamerti]

Yes they are and the best part is that they are projectors!

I do not have any affiliation nor do I get paid to promote any items from any seller. Just wanted to break the "Depo-noia" and educate the community.

On another note, the quality of the materials used in the Depo Gen5's are, by far, more superior to the Depos offered by DDM Tuning. The casing feels much like the original Hellas and the build quality comparable to that of an OEM item sans the wiring. The loom within the casing however are thicker guage wires and seems to be holding up quite nicely even after 2+ years of everyday (DRL) use! In addition, the Gen5 Depos have an extremely sharp cut-offs and does not present any "hot spots" in its beam pattern. I will try to post some photos once I find my external hard drive!

Thanks for clarifying that- mine were definitely the Gen2 H1 projectors. The only thing remotely close to E-code on them was the beam cutoff pattern- everything else was garbage.

Whats great about this set I got is that it comes with smoked fog lights .I will be upgrading those to hids 5000k ! Headlight hids to 6000k . And leds for marker lights

And I know a technique to get rid of the cutoff on projectors

Get pics of it in the day time lol. There's not a whole lot of pics of it installed, you'd figure with them being a ton cheaper, more people would have them. I've seen a few.

Do that, and if I see you and am not dead from running off the road blind- I will kill you.

Plus you get smoked fog lights with the headlight set .
