Disappointed with DEPO Replicas.

[IcyDeath]

I'm not very happy with my DEPO CTR Replica headlights. Before my accident I had stock 03-04 headlights with blue Eurolight 9005/9006 bulbs (whichever was lowbeam, I forget). They were both bright, looked like expensive HID and had a effective beam pattern illuminating what I needed to see and more.

The DEPO lights when I first installed them I put just the cheap Sylv. H1 bulbs in and it seemed to produce only what I can describe as a backwards "L" for the light pattern. The passenger side light is shooting off way to the right side of the road and the driver side light is also doing so, thus not illuminating the driver side and any turns or what not that may be coming up until it's too close.

I'll try getting pics up... Any idea what this is? I switched the bulbs to Slyv. H1 Silverstars tonight, and no help, it's just slightly brighter - but not near as bright or cool blue as the old eurolite bulbs. =(

Never mind the pic it looks fine on the camera but you can't tell jack when I loaded it to my PC... It's cuz no flash, but otherwise I'd not be able to show you guys..grrr.

dumb question and idk if I will offend you, but you did try adjusting the headlights correct? they are adjustable up and down as well as left and right. oh and silver stars suck balls. get some regular bulbs and they will last much longer

LOL I asked the same thing....

Like he said they can be adjusted both up down and left right

[v1c10us]

they are ingeneral not that great if you are talking about the projector replicas, the reflector 02-03 replicas should be just fine.
You can retrofit the tsx HID projectors into it perfectly with no cutting or anything, the holes line up, etc.

No I am totally not offended, because I didn't install them. It was after an accident and my Grandfather's body shop did and they are old guys that don't know jack (didn't even know wtf CF hood was 'til I had them put one on).

So how are they aimable? I did try and move the bulb itself, but it only will move so much and thus still clip in securely. I also tried to move around the bulb once it was secure in and the rubber weather seal was around the socket. It just moves back to where it was.

I'm guessing you mean I can somehow adjust the projector lens? If so this requires taking the head light assembly off again, right?

ohhh and I agree with the silver stars i hate them... but they will do for a few more months till i do the TSX Retro fit I saw that its a straight foward swap just bolts right up so Im down

[thisisagame24]

get rid of the shitty halogen projectors that are in there and get some tsx projectors...and you will be a million times happier

[oldschoolimport]

ohhh and I agree with the silver stars i hate them... but they will do for a few more months till they melt the headlight sockets.

fixed...

[musashi1219]

fixed...

thanks wes, u save me the time

There should be a hex or torx bolt on the housing of the light.

Tighten or loosen to aim them to your desire.

And not to be a jerk as well but your grandfather may want to hire some new young guys to replace the old ones!

I work in a shop and it's standard that any time a headlight is taken out or replaced that it is re-aimed.

Hope you figure it out though bro!

if anything u could stop at an autozone or something and im sure they wouldnt mind helping you out.

haha....sorry but i try to avoid the help from anyone in autozone or pepboys.....nothing but a bunch of speds that work in them .....maybe its just the NE ones....but holy hell they are retarded.....i had a fight with the guy over the correct light bulb size... it got to the point where i brought him out to the car and show him that he was wrong haha



if the answer isnt in their computers then they have no idea. and half the time their comps are wrong
