Depo 06+ style headlights and other aftermarket headlights thread
#681
Ok, so I had a "it shouldnt be that hard moment". I bought the depo 06+ headlights without the bulbs or ballasts. I have an 04 base and from what I can understand I need the D2S bulbs and balasts. my question is what balasts should I buy? I know they are on the retrofit website but Im still not sure which ones they would be. Is that all I need to buy? I know I have to change the connectors around because of the 6pin to 8pin. Am I missing anything?

Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted to say and you hit the spot. I would do the same thing with the Depo headlights too.
To Everyone that complaints about the lights and the aftermarket products, no one cares about the flaming opinions. All I wanted to find out what need to be done and had to scroll thru a bunch of BS..if you guys like NISMO kit so much and so bad then go get one stop bragging about it.

i love how everything always goes from a simple question and ends up a 20 page thread about brand whoring and rants about replica products. dont forget that the most sincerest form of flattery is imitation. as long as something that is a replica is a quality item i see no reason not to go for it over the exact same thing priced 3 times higher. i have an 05 that has fading and scratching on the headlights and even after a good buff and seal go dull again in 3 weeks. i was looking for 06+ bixenons to replace my factory HIDs and didnt want to spend a G on a new set and didnt want to go used and risk fading again then came across the Depo lights. i was planning on tearing open the headlights and painting the insides black and replacing the lens with the clear STi-R lense anyways so the black didnt bother me. the company that sells these is 10 minutes away in San Gabriel so i was able to go check them out and check out the quality. everything is pretty exact to the Nissan brand and the overall quality is great. they are the housing only with the rear cover and after swapping my factory HIDs are plug and play (minus the blue wire needing cut). i have the correct butyl sealant to put these back together the right way. i will be making the turn signal housing black as well. the common complaint has been the plastic bezel allowing light from the projector to shine through. this is due to the thin layer of paint. i will recoat these and see how it goes and looks. give me a week or two to get this all completed and then i will post pics of everything.
thanks and let the flaming begin
