    DIY: Depo Headlight Projectors 04-05. 56K dont approach!

    I got some Depo Projectors from Moonsi here:

    http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthr...low-Fog-lights

    Great purchase IMO. Great quality, fast shipping, and came with instructions.

    Now if you have 02-03 then you dont need this thread. This is for the 04-05. Now Moonsi did provide me with some installation steps but I thought I'd make a thread for you guys that need more than paper.





    First, take off your bumper! You'll have to take off your bumper clips, here:


    A screw under the fender liner


    Several screws under the bumper


    And when you do that, just pop the bumper off. You dont have to necessarily take the whole bumper off. Mine was just on the floor, connected by my side bumper markers and my fogs.


    Now lets take off those nasty OEM headlights! You'll need to remove the panel here by two honda clips. Pull up in the center, and remove the clips.




    Remove the screw and 10mm bolt here


    And under the headlight is another bolt


    *****Now I dont know why but I forgot to take a picture of this. But theres another screw on the side. Remove also.
    This part of the headlight gets bolted there.


    After that, remove the bulbs. If you're like me, it took some work to unclip the wires, so I disconnected all the bulbs from the headlight first then removed the wires. Stupid 7 year dirt.





    You're going to disconnect all bulbs except for the turn signal here.



    Next get your DEPO headlight, flip it over and remove these two harnesses









    Get your DEPO headlight and install! Now everything should wire correctly. The only trouble I had was that my city light wasnt long enough to stretch from my HIGH beam to my CITY light. So I had to cut the harness JUST A LITTLE BIT. I didnt cut any wires. Just the harness cover.



    Then put the headlight on, bolt on all 4 bolts/screw. Put back everything the way to took it off and make sure your lights work!

    City lights


    Headlights


    Turn signals


    High beams


    Now adjust your headlights so they dont blind people (I've yet to do that and found it out on the way home!)

    Enjoy! I hope I covered everything.

    Thanks for the awesome product!

    Now I dont know if this is necessary, but I've been doing this forever long with my headlights. I put some sealant on the edges to ensure no leakage. Just something I do. I dont think it's necessary.

    Not that I know of. His original post was only these and the fogs. I'm sure he might be able to find some? ... do they even make DEPO without black housings? Ionno! PM him.

    I think I've actually seen you driving before. I try to make it to where I know most all the EPs in the area but I didn't know who you were. Theres like two other EP3s I wish I knew. I guess I know you now, but I've seen a VBP EP3 in the area. The only VBP EP I've ever seen in person. I dont know who drives that. Also, the first EP3 I ever saw at CCM6-7? It's black with white rims. Thats where I got my inspiration from.
