    DEPO 2-piece Black Projector Headlights + 4300k VVME HID Retrofit Kit

    I recently installed a set of DEPO 2-piece projector headlights along with the 4300k HID conversion kit from VVME. It's only been a week and a half (installed March 7th) but, so far, I have had excellent results! $287 total and the lights look and function great!

    You can see below how I mounted the ballasts on the dust cover, using screws/epoxy/zip ties, as well as their fitment within the headlight cavity. The connectors were wrong for the corner lights but the bulb housings were otherwise identical, so I just swapped the old bulb housings into the new corner light housings.

    Before installation, both the headlights and the corner lights were completely sealed using silicon, so I shouldn't have a problem with moisture buildup inside the lights. The only downside I can see to this upgrade is that I lose my foglights in favor of city lights (which are controlled by the foglight button - I'll have to do the independent foglight mod to make them useful). One of the next upgrades I plan to do is to add foglights.

    I haven't had the chance yet to get better photos of the headlights nor of the lights in action. I'll be able to get those this coming weekend.
