aftermarket is going to have some variances, not always but likely to happen.

My depos didnt fit well at first either. Just try to get the fitment between the headlight and the fender to be as flush as possible. then tighten the bolt on the bottom of the bracket and the last bolt on top

Are these the DEPO halogen or the DEPO HID? I know that both are projectors but from what I have read there is a difference. Could someone please chime in....highly interested.

Depo does not make an HID projector. They sell you this headlamp as a halogen projector but it happens to be very similar to the dimensions of the TSX HID projector internals (for example) so it makes for a retrofit that ends up costing a couple hundred dollars less than CTR HID's. Depo halogen projectors can also simply be retrofitted with "plug and play" HID's, which is outlined in other threads. The cutoff on the lights won't be as nice as TSX, but the work involved is far less tedious.

Corrected my previous post, this thread shows how to install the lights but other DIY's can be found on PnP HID kits into the housings (not difficult at all).
