Did you have the Depo's retrofitted with a different projector lens and HID kit or is this what they came like from the factory?

 

This is the factory depo projector with a ddmtuning 4500k 35w kit.

 

Mine has a larger gap on the passenger side. Not really noticable tho. I don't think this has as much to do with the headlight as it does with the bumper. Pushing up on the bumper closes the gap but makes the side pop out a bit...

 

I drove with them last night. The visibility is much better than running with HID's in the OEM reflector housings. I can see the cutoff line for a few hundred yards up the highway. The width of the spread isn't as much as I'd like, but it still isn't too bad. It seems they have a 130 degree spread out in front of the car, whereas some other projectors I've seen are like 160 degrees.

 

The cut off looks much cleaner here than in the other photos submitted. I wonder why the difference.

 

My cutoff line looks just like Ninja's as well.

 

Wow definitely purchasing these and the evoxr projectors. Someone should do a DIY

 

The cutoff line is nicely defined. Like wiretap says, the width of the spread is less than in other cars I've driven, but it lights up everything in front nicely. I'll have to do some headlight adjustment tho. I think mine are pointed down a bit low.

 

HELP!!!


EvoX-R retrofit

Let's take for example the DEPO headlights retrofitted with Evo-R BiXenons. Base model evo!
What prepping does the wiring need so I can hook up BiXenon highbeams properly?

splice them into my high beam wire boom the end ? But I don't want quad highbeams

 

For the bixenon to work you need a switched power to the solenoid that you can control from inside the car. Your normal high beam signal wire (going into high beam headlight) should do the trick. You should be able to splice into that for your switched power to control the cutoff solenoid, I would think.

 

hmm so splice the wire, but take out the inner halogen bulb to prevent quad hb.
seems to be the best approach. thanks!

 

^^ what's the issue with having quad high beam???

You use high beam when there are no other cars infront of you...
If you remove the 9005 high beam bulb don't expect to flash anyone in emergency situations... All that will happen is the solenoid motor will activate. Flashing won't activate your low beam bulb to turn on...

 

Crap. I don't understand how all that works, but I'll keep it quad just to avoid that hassle.
How would the halogen high beam help re-activate the low beam of the bixenon that you mentioned during a flash. /n00b i know

I never even know the Xs had a flash feature. I thought it was either the high was turned on or off. Not the split second pull feature for a quick flash other vehicles have LOL.

 

On the stock SSS projectors all the flash does is drop the cutoff to let out all the lighty goodness the bixenon has to offer.

In the case of halogens, you run the low beam when the headlights are on, flashing the high beam will normally send power to the high beam light. In this case you'd be redirecting it back to the solenoid to drop the cutoff of the EvoX-R projector, letting out all the light you're producing.

If you have a 12v test harness, and have never seen it in action, just clip your leads onto the solenoid wires, turn on the 12v power and watch the cutoff in all its glory with a satisfying CLICK!

If you splice into the high beam wire, you're taking some of the signal to the bulbs and redirecting it to the solenoid, opening it, while powering the bulb. Or just redirect altogether and forget the halogen high beams.

(in theory, sorry, it's 4am and just got off a sev 1 work call, 99% asleep, and, on that note, going back to bed)

 

I need this broken down sesame street style.

What do I need to do in order to have fully working bixenons?
I could care less about the inner halogen bulb.

I just don't want any issues with my low beams never coming back on either.

Once again, I don't even think we can "flash" with the non SSS models. Or at least I gotten around to get it working. Haha

Sorry if I sound like a broken record. I don't wanna mess this up or end up losing functionality of something I need.

You think the best thing to do is just keep it quad high ultimatley?
