Okay since mine is an 03, is there a specific bulb I have to stay away from or as long as the color temp is right im okay? What if I wanted LED instead of HID? Where can I purchase a ballast as well? Im gonna keep doing research to see if I can answer these questions too lol

 

There are no LED headlight bulbs worth a damn. HID only, and the type is D2S. Can't help on the ballast, as my car is an '08 and came with the good lights, but check the Depo thread, and you'll find what you need. Read the whole thread, take notes.

 

I thought the 03's were D2R.. Am i mistaken?

 

The Depo's, and '06> OEM lights use D2S.

 

Okay so I shouldnt run into any wiring harness issues then?

 

get these and be done....... you are welcome noob

Holy cow those are pricey, I know the person who makes those mods and he said 600 lol :P im looking for headlights around 350

 

but remember those were oem 06+ lights, see how much they are each at courtestyparts.com. then you will realize they were a deal, doesn't matter now because those are sold

 

No, they will plug right in. You just have to swap the ballasts over from your 03 lights and buy D2s bulbs and you'll need turn signal bulbs as well. You'll also need to snip a wire on each of the Depo lights that runs to the turn signal lights so they don't stay on all the time. Read the Depo thread, all the info is in the first few pages of that thread.

 

Okay I think I got it for the most part, but two more things! What type of turn signal bulbs are good and what depo thread are you guys talking about cuz I keep looking for it and no luck :/ is it a sticky thread?

 

In this very same exterior & interior forum, scroll down. It should be not far down from the top. Depo is in the title.

 

You are posting in it lol.

 

Can we maybe clean this up a bit? 31 pages of what bulbs do I need and will this work or wiring questions. Lets just make a closed sticky of what you need for the different models of lights (bulbs, harness mods, etc) and call it a day.

 

^^ I agree because as a noob to these cars its difficult to keep up and understand what you all are saying. Haha it would be nice to have a chart or a list of exactly what I need. So if I have an 03 touring and buy those Depo lights, so far I know that I need D2S headlight bulbs between 4300k-5500k and I need to snip some random wire that I dont know. Also I know that I need turn signal bulbs but no idea what kind!

 

D2S bulbs, 06+ turn signal bulbs and just tape off a wire or two that are not connected when the ballasts are plugged in. You'll know what I mean when you do the swap.

 

gees

 

That sounds extremely simple. Dang im overthinking this haha. Any website you recommend me buying all these parts from? Even the depo headlights, ebay or a better site?

 

Ebay, bulbs just google them and the turn signals just buy from advance/napa/etc

 

Im so lost, I oreder the headlights and phillips D2S bulbs 4300k but I cant figure out which turn signals to get. Everyone keeps saying something different. Ive been reading and people say to get 3357A,3457A and 3157, which one is it? What are the differences in the first two?

Also can I get the turn signals in LED or do you guys recommend something else for those?

 

the "A" indicates an Amber bulb. Google the Sylvania Auto Bulb guide, and look up what fits the '06> OEM headlights.
