I always wondered what these really looked it and they don't disappoint! And for just under $300, I think it's a steal. I paid about 3x for stock HIDs and other than the halos, I wouldn't be able to tell if your Depos were aftermarket or not. Nice addition to your X and thanks for the pics!

Are the halos powered by a separate wire? If so, adding a relay to be able to turn them off might be how to make everyone happy.

My first concern was that it wouldn't physically fit my car since mine is a 2013. IT DID FIT. my second concern was that it wouldnt wire up correctly. But thanks to a shop i took it too all they had to use was adapters to wire everything up to the factory wires without having to cut or splice anything AT ALL. So im not going to run into any electrical problems. BTW the headlights came with 8k h.i.ds, and they are dark housing HALO headlights. Gave the car a more agressive look, especially when the halos are on. The halos light up when i click the unlock button, and everything works as it should. Paid 288 for the headlights and h.i.ds that came with them. As for quality, excellent to say the least.

Sorry to bring back up an older post, but I picked some of these up, and am wondering if you know what adapters were used to wire these up correctly? I would like to know what I am talking about before I go to a shop for install, mostly cause I don't have any knowledgeable shops close by :/

I know it isnt the same. But it was $288...I'll put my money into more important things.
