Somebody man up and get these already.

[civictype_r04]

They need to go lower and ship them for free.

[chuck83]

which bulbs do they use?

:shocked:REPOST!!!!!

[Kodeen]

:shocked:REPOST!!!!!

It wasn't when I posted it. For some reason it took a few hours to go up. Weird.

[thechromecoyote]

for that price you can buy a used set off ebay.uk or ebay germany and have them shipped to the US. :mfrown:

Replicas are supposed to be cheaper than the real thing.

[Chad]

I think you'd want to throw LED turn lamps in the corners to keep the yellow out and showing full view of the lamp....

I know it's wishful thinking but if they came down to 200 bucks I'd be on them like stink on shit!

[sleepingblacksi]

someone bargain the guy too 180$ and buy em :photo:

why is there so many threads about this? lol

[paulmofyourhand]

bc lights are everything!

[Danny J]

dont buy fake



So what are these suppose to replicate? UKDM?

[Aug]

They look pretty shitty to me, honestly..

[dashehonda]

the only real noticeable diff. is the turn signal area, its clear on the depo's as opposed to a diamond cover.

[xsimplistikaznx]

dont buy fake

word to that!

[Godhand]

You mean don't buy fakes that you don't have to bust into and mod to not blind people? Or do you mean don't buy fakes that cost twice as much to import from Europe? I'm kinda lost on the whole fake thing. . .I mean, these are headlights for crying out loud, just add some sealent when they come in. I thought that saying no-no to fakes ended at safety and performance issues. C'mon, 95% of people here have fake Mugen crap on their car. No offense, so do I.

Youre right, its a replica.. not a fake. :amen:

Depo is one of the better reps out there, my only problem with it is the price is too high.

[its a ivtec]

they look alright to me..I'd buy them..jus would hate opening them up again to blackout the lil chrome pieces

Thanks for say that, so I didn't have to. I agree 110% percent. Don't even get me going about Rota haters either...

Bwahahah, did you even read what you just typed? For a site that mentions "form over function" more and more, I see some of the lamest shit on here. I could buy these depot lights and be well on my way to a completed retrofit before I could buy the JDM projectors with the incorrect beam pattern.

[SiR R8TD]

They look great, but too much $$$ for knock-offs.

[Kodeen]

I could buy these depot lights and be well on my way to a completed retrofit before I could buy the JDM projectors with the incorrect beam pattern.

That's kinda what I'm looking for in these, but take the laziness a step further. I want to do absolutely no retrofitting, mainly because it adds to the cost. If these work properly out of the box, then great. If not, then I'm still happy with my stockies.

People are saying that they're not much cheaper than the real deal, but with those you MUST retrofit unless you want to blind people, and that definitely drives the total cost up.

If I find out these bad boys are working without me doing any legwork, I'm opening my wallet with no hesitation.

Correct. Your only other OEM option is to go w/ EDM projectors which won't require any retrofitting. The problem is that they are hard to find. The DEPO headlights are a good alternative IMO.

replicas FTW

[Danny J]

How or where do i search for the EDM set???? Oh and replicas are never bad from a reliable source. Everybody buys "fake" shit everyday i.e. bootleg dvds and cd's. Anyways still a bit pricey for replicas that still need to be modded. Maybe like $220's w/no modding of any kind. Just throwin it out there, seein what happens

It's the JDM projectors that need to be modded, not these.

edit: When I say modded, I am referring to the beam pattern, not to the wiring. If these lights are going on a 02-03 EP, you will need to do some wiring. Hope that didn't confuse anyone.

[krntiger]

any one get a set of these? im thinking about going step by step on these using the set of bulbs that they have on them and then later going to HID. if some one jumps on these, please post pics and a write up.

[Danny J]

So these depo lights need no mod what so ever? If thats the case i really might buy these. Though will they work with a H4 Bi-xenon HID kit?

[Danny J]

* It fits stock 2002-2005 HONDA CIVIC SI 3DR HATCHBACK ONLY
*** 2002-2003 Civic SI need modification the harness




Anyone know...?

[Danny J]

I just shot them a email on ebay askin if it would work with the H4 bi-xenon HID kit and what mod is needed exactly. Hopefully i'll get a quick response. But in the mean time if someone could fill in the gap still. That would always be awesome!!!

[Godhand]

Hopefully, they will be honest and give a real answer back. My wallet is getting anxious.

[D3xn2o]

Hopefully, they will be honest and give a real answer back. My wallet is getting anxious.


same here

[Danny J]

:third: that

[oneglory]

02/03 are H4
04/05 are 9005/9006.

So from this information:


* It fits stock 2002-2005 HONDA CIVIC SI 3DR HATCHBACK ONLY
*** 2002-2003 Civic SI need modification the harness


I'm assuming these will have the 04/05 9005/9006 setup. So, no..most likely an H4 bi-xenon kit will not fit a 9005 projector.

[Danny J]

Yep exactly what they said...well not word for word but same concept. So then what would be needed to convert it from an H4 to a 9005/6?

[oneglory]

You can buy a harness from suvlights.com or make one yourself

I made one myself because I didn't want to pay the money.

[MugenReplica]

I really like these, but I'm afraid of the Depo craftsmanship. If they were cheaper I'd buy a set as a spare.

[oneglory]

I agree.

[oneglory]

I was thinking about selling my retros...

[D3xn2o]

Well last sunday Some Drunk Driver hit me head on, on a oneway I was going the right way he came the wrong way sooooooo my front bumper driverside and head light and fender all destroyed since i needed a new light i decided why not try these....

Insurance is paying me $350 for a new OEM replacement So i thought hell why not get these save like 5 bucks... so After i Fab up a Wiring harness Ima post up my thoughts Im ordering tomorrow I guess it should be interesting look for the Thread... now ima go click the Search Button for the
02/03 - 04/05 DIY Harness :faint:

[lldiesel386ll]

if you search around ebay now (look up civic si projector) they can now be found for 269 with 40 shipping...:mrolleyes:
personally i think if they drop below 250 shipped i may have to pick myself up a set to work on:msmile:

[D3xn2o]

Thats for the heads up on the price ima say like $20 now

Regardless its not money coming outta my pocket its the dudes insurance so im saving them cash doing it this way but the body shop will only mount them ima need to make the harness when i get my car back unfortunately They will probably be like " Hey mang your car it ain't got head lights mang. you bought thee wrong ones..." Im gonna be like I KNO!!! just put them in Stop saying my Car is complicated geez.... I kno this already


but whatever Ima just seal them up with some silicone and install no big deal no leaks im not worried

[v1c10us]

the wiring harness is really easy but most people do it backwards because the system is negatively switched, when you get around to it give me a PM and i'll send you my little paint diagram and some instructions. Or you can figure it out yourself but i promise you'll probably make the harness perfectly but it'll be backwards because everyone does this.

[ALL MotoR Ep3]

I would definitely copp and have the silver part blacked out by my homie out east.....he is sick with the spray can so i know my shyts would come out perfect.

[Jcmazzeo]

anyone know if they leak? or condinsation like that?

[Zaku]

I actually like these I think I might get a set, as soon as some funding comes along, my 03 headlight are so bad and dirty I think it's corroding I dunno it's just yellowed up right after I sand down some part and it hasn't been 3 weeks. Im going to keep my eyes on this thread and see about the harness and putting this on right. Thanks to who ever is being the first to get them

[shivic]

call me crazy but those look ricey. maybe i just haven't come around.

[D3xn2o]

call me crazy but those look ricey. maybe i just haven't come around.



They Kinda are Type R Reps man... They look OEM...

[Kerby]

if they lower the price to $200-225 and or make the price $250 including shipping.... I'll take one for the team.

[Kodeen]

anyone know if they leak? or condinsation like that?

No one knows yet since nobody has got them. However, Depos have a reputation for leaking, so if I ever end up getting them I will probably use as much sealent as possible just to be safe.

[Danny J]

So these and and the Anzo's need modifing if you have a 2002-2003 ep?

[Kodeen]

So these and and the Anzo's need modifing if you have a 2002-2003 ep?

Yup, as well as the stock 04/05 or the actual 04/05 projectors, since the 02/03 has 1 low+high bulb and the 04/05's have a seperate bulb for each.

[ALL MotoR Ep3]

Thats a great deal because the real CTR ones go for a about 6 or 7 something now....so I guess the price they are listing are pretty good......if you ask me...but then if your ep3 is 02-03 you have to modify your harness.....lol but its still a great deal bump for EBAY ..

[Danny J]

Is there a DIY on making a new harness to fit H4's yet? I just ordered the Xenith Xenon kit nd would like to match that kit with these depo's

[Kerby]

I'm alittle concerned with what projector they used in their headlight. And how the beam pattern looks on the road, and most importantly... how's the cutoff.

[Chad]

Nobody shall know till there is a review :D Which means someone has to pony up.

02-03 has one bulb, so how does that work? What if I install HIDs?

[Kodeen]

Can't wait to hear about it =)

02-03 works by way of H4 -> 9005/9006 conversion harness, same as if you were going to install the 04-05 stock headlights. I don't know if a DIY has been posted up yet, but it might be soon.

HID's are one of the questions about everybody here has. Stay tuned.

[KrypTOniTE]

As for a DIY It will be hard to do one since the body shop is installing the lights but im doing the harness sooooo Ill post pix of it done


I got one question tho whats up with this 9006 to H1 Conversion clip or something for the prelude I've been doing some research and it seems that you Legit JDM nuts need to use this H1 Conversion clip or something for the projector bulb I was worried about something stupid like that

There doesnt seem to be any info on these lights tho if the harness for H1 to 9006 is already present or whatever

Regardless if its like that or not ima have to make it work Ill Post info


Any one who can give info on this harness issue please chime in

Only reason i got them was cause i needed new lights and i didnt wanna get a new 03 OEM light....


Lets take a vote who would buy these if they offer a decent Group buy?

[v1c10us]

its so easy to get them wholesale though.
Then you could just be the great guy who sells them for wholesale and we just pay shipping.
Especially if you could get jpax to make a shop section of the site, and you could order stuff from depo wholesale.

[paulmofyourhand]

am i the only one that thinks this is priced right.?

[Kerby]

yes:drum:

[thechromecoyote]

It isnt that the cost of the headlights isnt reasonable for what they are, its that you can get EDM ones for not too much more. So its that compared to the originals, its not cheap enough for replicas.

[Danny J]

I partially agree with you on this because it will totally depreciate the value of the real JDM/UKDM versions.

[EKON]

Can't wait to see the beam pattern.

[paulmofyourhand]

I partially agree with you on this because it will totally depreciate the value of the real JDM/UKDM versions.

i don't think the value would drop that much.

these headlights are just the Rota of headlights. good looks, cheap, and readily avaliable.

And I thought i was the one postin pix up does anyone else have these?


Cause one person says the beam pattern sux but no body decided to post up saying they had them or not so how do you kno?

[VegaS10]

I had Depo lights in my crx years ago and in my eg before I knew better. The lights look good for a couple of months, then they get the haze on them, they leak and the beam pattern sucked. Crappy beam pattern on 2 cars with 2 sets of lights prove to me I did'nt recieve a "fluke" set.

Don't get me wrong, they look great. But no way will I sacrifice my headlight's output (I live in the country) for pure cosmetics.

sry guys........i didnt take any pic when i mods the DEPO projector lamp....but, trust me, the beam patter is suk....better get the TSX projector, thats JDM yo

someone buy my 04 lights in the classifieds, and ill disect these for u

I'm a newb here, but a 10-years-plus B13 SE-R dude, and DEPO makes bad lights for early 90s Sentras. The fitment was horrible..the tolerances are really sloppy. All around construction was poor.

[civiCholo]

deop lights for the ep are actually pretty good in quality as far as fitment goes... paint lasting for a certain period of time, i'm not sure, but from what i've seen and dealt with, they are really good and worth the money if you need OE replacements...

really ?? how so, i have 02-03 here so I dont know

The difference is in the honeycomb section for the turn signal. On the regular headlights, the honeycomb goes all the way to the top, while on the projectors they stop halfway up since the driving light is up there.

Paulmofyourhand where did you see or get the picture of the 02-03 with the Ion in the headlight? I like how that looks and would like to see the steps on making that happen to mine.

[Kodeen]

So Wayne (speedstar racing) has posted beam pattern shots with the halogen bulbs. For those in the know (spefically oneglory and palmofyourhand), what do you think? I personally don't know enough about how projectors should look to tell if this is acceptable or not.

those look pretty good, but look like other aftermarket projector outputs... intense towards the center of the beam and fades out on the sides wayyy too much for my tastes... i think a lens swap or a projector swap would benefit it the best...

It looks "ok." The reason i say that is because the intensity of the lights can seem very different with different camera settings. I have seen projectors look completely different with different cameras and camera settings.

The beam doesn't look wide at all.

So until i get a set in my hands to use, i really can't judge from that pic.

Kodeen mentioned the honeycomb thing.

and the CTR's are molded differently. there is a "hump" on the front lense in different spot. bc the ctr has the projector more towards the middle of the headlight, as oppose to the usdm halogen low beams are more towards the outside.

I think he is too close to the wall to tell accurately.

I agree, I also agree on the camera issue, it's just too tough to tell.

Honestly, I don't think that this is the same projector setup as the one from ebay. I took another look at wayne's thread and noticed that the corner lights were honey combed like the germany halogens.

[D3xn2o]

My lights finally came in the body shop is test fitting and measuring up so everything fits stock...

* thats the only advantage i have over everyone else*

Body shop is fitting them for me...

Ima bring my harness to them tomorrow so they and do there thing Ima tell them to order a few parts like the 04-05 turn signal sockets and i think thats it lol

[MOOGEN]

gj! make sure you post output against a wall with you car on a flat surface.

[IcyDeath]

D3xn20, yay I wanna see the pics I am about to order them also (someone hit my front end as well). So, I feel your pain.

When I get them I'll post more pics for everyone to get a 2nd opinion on since everyone is saying the beam pattern can vary with cameras etc. It is gonna be like 2 weeks though. =(

[D3xn2o]

I went to see the head lights today I can confirm that the Depo lights come with a 9006 - H1 jumper harness and the H1 bulb adapter like the one from the prelude....


Fitment on the lights are perfect just like stock and quality is just awesome.... I cant test them until i get my car back but like i said I needed to order some parts from honda....


just the turn signal sockets the parking light indicators are the same those plugged right in no biggie


My car is coming along just fine.... new fender no frame damage

new bumper and for show.... They shaved my side markers

it looks awesome!!!


So Ima use the unused plugs for the side markers to fit them on the turn signals for the 04-05 sockets I researched a bit and they seem to be able to work maybe a little modding like cutting a clip inside the plug or something no big deal.... but soon I'll have my baby back....

until then Ima keep riding my new baby :mbiggrin: My yamaha R6 woooo

[shenmuep3]

I cant wait for those pics!

Everyone was waiting for someone to man up and come forward on who had them and no one did where were you!?!?

[marker4@verizon]

I was just wondering if the depo projector CTR replicas lights come with both lamps? Do i need to buy a 9005 or 9006?

lol no these dont...

but they do have the mount point underneath the headlight for the stock HID ballasts

And so do our stock 02-03 lights...

And as for 11 page threads

In the pictures that are up on that post the pass side the beam pattern rises on the outside edge.... I would think its a glare... you just leavin it?

[Kodeen]

Looking at those pictures, you would think it's not that big a deal since noone's driving on that side of your car, but if you're passing someone on the highway you will probably flood their car with light.

Thats exactly my point

I dont wanna ruin someones night because of that

[IcyDeath]

My DEPO replicas came FedEx today. At the shop getting put on should have pics by the weekend if anyone wants to still see what they look like night time and all that.

[powdbyrice]

its to illuminate road signs on the side of the road...

[skoo74]

anyone know if these lights throws hotspots when HIDs are installed?

[kuma912]

All halogen projectors have that cutoff. The only way to fix it is to get the shield from an hid projector.

[jimmmay]

My friend... that isn't glare... That's halogen projector "flare." That flare is used to light up signs which are mainly on the right side because they are lhd.

If you want a flat beam pattern, you should get TSX projectors with D2S bulbs.

Glare is jsut fragments of light going everywhich way but the right direction. Producing a shine where it shouldn't be.

[socal_brandon2]

I just installed mine last night..

I'm just using standard halogen h1 bulbs for now, if anyone wants the beam shot I'd be glad to take some when it gets dark tonight.

[ep_hatcher_510]

Ive seen that but not knocking on you i can get the lights through ebay get a harness made and get hids for about 450. Your price seems way too high for just the headlights and harness.
