Default C5R Style "DEPO" Projector Headlight Opinions?

Hello all, I'm just curious if anybody has these Depo Brand Projectors? If so, I'd like to hear your opinions on the Installation, Fit & Finish, and Functionality of the finished product. The information below is all that I was able to find. We carry other Depo brand products and find the quality is higher than OEM. We're considering offering a Group Purchase on these, but we need more knowledge before doing so.

Thanks all, any assistance will be highly appreciate
Richard

Here's a couple of larger pictures. They do look to be quality manufactured.

I have looked at these off and on for the last two years. I am very interested in a group buy but also want to know more about them from actual users.

Chrome would be $624.95 Shipped
Black would be $649.95 Shipped

I believe that would be the best prices offered on thesefrom anybody. In checking through web sites I have found retail prices on the Chrome to be $899.99 plus shipping, and Black to be $999.99 plus shipping.

I know you guys what the best possible pricing. So if we can't provide it, we won't bother to carry the product.

You may have been looking at another brand. The Black Depo Projectors have only recently been released, and I don't think the Chrome have been available for that long either.

Hopefully somebody on the forum has them installed. If not, I'll probably just bite the bullet and install them on mine to see what they're all about. If they are quality, I'll keep them in my ride and offer the GP. If they're poor quality and lighting, I'll just auction them off as barely used.

I don't know, being that Depo doesn't offer a HID kit for these. I'm not even sure who's HID kits can be used. But yes, the way that was written would imply that a H7 Xenon HID kit can be used. Maybe somebody will have those answers as well.

Wishfull thinking anyway
Richard

I may be interested on the GB. However I want to see pics of them on the car and at night in use. If these wont accept HID lights then i think these are somewhat worthless since we want lights comparable to the C6

They're said to be "H.I.D.-Ready with retrofit H7 Xenon kits" But I don't have much knowledge of them. Would you assume they need just the Bulbs and Ballast?

Thanks,
Richard
