This could be caused from heat from the sun and these cheap ebay housings. if so then ill be going back to my 03's.
Anyone else having this issue?
Bad set maybe, send them back they have a years warranty from what I remember.

Just installed mine, fitment seems just like OEM. I upgraded from 03+ HID. Just a note for Canadian models you will lose the DRL's. I would like to figure out how to rewire things so the park lights are used as DRL's.

Oh, and the aim from mine is way too high. Guess I need to adjust them.

depo with depo lense cutoff on left, oem (06-08) cutoff on right. car is pretty close to the wall, id say about 4 ft give or take and was on stands.


depo left with STi lense w/ spacer, oem (06-08) on right:


installed below. The sti lenses made a huge obvious improvement and i can definitely tell a diff between the depo + sti lenses vs oem (06-08).

I just wanted to point out that those headlights may not actually be legit DEPO headlights. Now I may be wrong, but I did a search on the depo website looking for part numbers, and I cannot find the "315-1162PXUSH2" part number advertised anywhere. In fact, that string of characters only exists on that ebay page when you do a google search. As far as I can tell they only make one set of headlights for the 06-08 models and they are replicas.

The site i was looking at was http://www.depo.com.tw/ . I have no idea if this is the right site, but i searched it extensively. I even started spidering their website for pdfs and clear-text indexed them looking for that part number and came up with nothing. The only set that exists for the 06 - 08 models is the "315-1162-ASH" set. Each side is then called 315-1162L-ASH and 315-1162R-ASH for the left and right side respectively.

The ebay seller that i am referring to is the seller that the original poster posted on the first post. He currently has a listing with the previously mentioned part number.

Like i said earlier I could be wrong, but I was very close to purchasing a set of these headlights. After some research I decided not to and i figured i would share what i found with the 350z community.

I bought from that seller, they are legit depos as far as I can tell. Not that it really even matters? They are aftermarket who cares. They have held up fine so far.

Just because you can't find it on their cryptic and hard to navigate website should by no means be a negative sign.

Yeah you do have a point. I went ahead and tried to buy a set but it looks like they are already sold out again!

You're welcome! I'm glad I found this thread. I have been having bad condensation problems in my passenger side and both sides have cracks in them. They are both OEM but I've only recently had to start parking my car outside more often and its getting colder here in southern Ohio.

My local Nissan dealership wanted about $827.15 for just one side. It comes with everything included but still.
