Depo headlight guys....

anyone who has the depo projector lights for these cars...what's the cutoff like? can you post a pic? i've searched and came up with nothing, i'm looking to buy a set of projectors but if i'm spending that much money i want to make sure they're decent and the cutoff is good... thanks!

all i can really tell you is that the cutoffs from the projector lights on ebay suck... i have them and they're all over the place. honestly i love the look on the car and the light output is decent but cutoffs again are horrible

I had them on my RA and the driverside one was alright but the passengerside one lit up the roofs of the houses on the side of the road...

Lol did you aim them by turning the bolt? That may have something to do w/ lighting up houses and all that stuff. Once their aimed they're not so bad... but still not great

you COULD but then you'd have that silver strip across the top of the light that contains its own light... I prefer the look of the eBay ones even though they leak but that can easily be fixed

I don't have much context with RAs, but I assume you're talking pre-built projector housings. I don't know what the depos are, but the TSX projectors are really nice. I assume that you all already know this, though.

the TSX projectors are nice but we're talking about the whole projector housing in general. If you guys could somehow fit the TSX projectors into the ebay housings then they woudl be great

^yes, very nice. Which projectors did you use?

Raikiri - that is what I thought but didn't know what these 'Depo' projectors that were referred to.

yes well unfortunately we don't have the same headlight housing as you so we cant order ones like those... and im assuming most of us aren't mechanically inclined enough to rip apart our oem headlights and retrofit projectors into them without screwing something up or at least being afraid of such
