Depo JDM Headlights

Those are cool. Is it just a straight swap or is there additional wiring requied?

 

I've got a set bookmarked off Amazon for quite some time now. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Let me know how the light output is.

 

So tried installing them today. Safe to say it was a pain in the behind. Broke some clips off my grill and lights, and liner. Took me over an hour just to not get anywhere. Big thank you to the guy who decided a 10 mm hidden in the back was a good idea. I'll just bring it to a shop to get them installed rather than further damaging my truck, haha.

 

These bulbs came with the headlights. Wondering if anyone has experience with them and if I should use these or the ones in my current headlights?

 

Just an update for anyone wondering about customer service/replacement. I purchased my DEPO lights off Amazon from KETECH D.B.A AutoLightBulbs on Amazon. I had the lights for around 90 days and even with caulk I developed condensation in the drivers side. I was meticulous with the silicone so I believe it got by the grommet on the bulb or through a vent hole. Anyway, I was outside the 30 day seller warranty but was within the one year warranty from the manufacturer. Long story short I sent them some pictures of the light and they gave me an RMA. I pay shipping there, they replace it and pay shipping back. Shipping was expensive, from Kentucky to California the cheapest I could ship them was $52.02. Keep in mind the lights were $119 with free shipping. So basically I bought a replacement. IF something comes up with the seller and they won't replace it do to the silicone (which I told them about in the initial email) or they just decide to not pay for shipping for whatever reason then I will just cut my losses and buy another set from someone else or just try to find some OEM lights locally and attempt the BHLM. I don't forsee any issues with the seller or replacement. Fingers crossed!

 

Try this, remove all the bulbs from the headlight, make sure it's a nice sunny day out. Throw in a few SILICA GEL PACKS in there. By the end of the day, no moisture in your headlights.

 

I will give that a try. Just ordered some on Amazon!

 

I remember when they first came out they were $120 or so now they way more. Someone on TW said they are pretty cheap and wanted to get rid of them!

 

What I would do just in case, seal the outside of the headlights, throw in 2-4x SILICA packs, leave it overnight just incase of any moisture in the headlights. Wish for the best!

Worst case scenario, bake the headlights and seal them yourself with BUTYL, SILICA packs in the headlights and seal the outside, you should not have any moisture/condensation at all!

 

I wish I had saved the literature that came with my depo headlights regarding the difference between a "leak" and moisture inside the headlight. Anybody else recall this piece of paper that was in each headlight box? To me it was a way for them to snake out of warranty claims Bc headlights should not leak nor build up moisture, especially within 90 days.

Sure hope it works out and sucks you had to spend so much on shipping.

 

I still have that piece of paper since i haven't installed them yet, and to me it was a list of excuses. But hey, they look great, haha.

 

Pic of excuses lol

 

Yeah seriously, share and show how stupid that is.

 

Haha, i will soon.

 

Pretty much guarantee moisture!

 

Right on, and you got a new grill. Looks great.

 

I did, thanks, figured was best to do both at the same time!

 

I know a guy out here in vegas that just did. But he bought it from the company it self paid a little more. They look great. I was blown away on how good it actually looks. I am now going to get them to. Just make you put some silcone on it.

 

Finally installed, only had a little frustration trying to adjust them at first but I'm satisfied with the result! Hoping I added a good enough amount of silicone, I guess time will tell.
