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

I have always wanted to do the black housing/iron man conversion on my 06 350z, but i never had the courage to do so, this just seems like a great alternative, i didnt want to mess up my oem bi xenons lol does anyone know if the housings on these depo lights are gloss black or flat black. In some pictures they look flat in others they look glossy, any help would be appreciated

Do these have easy to reach adjustment points so that if you install them and they aren't aimed correctly, you can adjust?
Reason I ask is Previous Owner installed some God-awful Aftermarket headlights and they honestly aim 50 feet up into the sky, with no signs on any adjustment points...
