tested them yesterday against my other projectors and these were twice as bright.
and the cutoff is clean not like the pics in here which I am guessing is the camera picking up glare or something. Anyhow will install them in a few and drive with them for a week and decide if I will retrofit or not.

Anyone else have trouble getting Jrox DRL bypass to work. It seems like Depos are missing one connector needed for them to work properly

The connectors on the Depo's are no different than the OEM connectors.

When the DRL is hooked up only the passenger comes on. The ballast works fine if we disconnect everything they come on normally but when the bypass is hooked up the drivers side won't come on

Bypass is probably not done right.

Got it working for some reason the first bypass would not work. So i pulled out my old one made by funkybeats back in the day and it fire ok. However i discovered why my bumper had such a large gap on the drivers side. The inner clip that goes under the headlight was broken it was probably from an accident that i had a while back and it was never discovered but a guy i know fixed the issue by drilling new bumper support hole and adding additional bolts to compensate.

Lights are pretty good, cut off is decent not bad for $300 plus i have hardly any glare.

All my holes lined up very close to the locations they were supposed to go. I didn't have any problems putting the bolts in.

The holes for the passenger headlight were slightly off for me, but it wasnt bad enough that i couldnt make it fit.

Did you tighten one bolt down all the way before you started n the next? I didnt tight anything until all four bolts were threaded in. This allows the headlight move a bit if any of the other holes were off.

Purchased the depo headlights through Amazon as well as the depo smoked led tail lights, the ddm 35w 4500k hid kit, the jrox harness, and the 9500 high beam bulbs.

Question (I've seen talk of it here but not quite sure why/ necessary): Why are people "baking" and pulling the assembly apart? Is it necessary? Or can the bulbs purchased above just slide into the required housing?

People do that when they wanna install a different projector or black out their headlight housing.

Received the Depo lights this last weekend and the quality is OEM right off the bat:

They immediately went into the oven to get blacked out. Oven baked @ 200 degrees for 23 minutes a piece and the sealant came apart with little force.

Here are the finished pics, I didn't add any sealant when putting them back together and have had a few rainy days since with ZERO fogging up. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!
