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

In some pictures they look flat in others they look glossy, any help would be appreciated
