    Soo, I have some stock headlights with really messed up lenses. I picked up some used depo replacements in great shape but I like my stock housings better. Will the Depo lenses work with my stock housings? I did some digging and didn't find anything on it.

    You could probably just peel the lense off the new and swap it with the old, just throw them in the oven to take them apart

    Aftermarket headlights almost always have a shit light pattern compared to stock

    I've been planning to try this too. I hate the pattern the depo lights throw. I'll be trying in a couple weeks when the wife goes backpacking so I won't get busted using the oven for this.
