DEPO help!

[Satalite]

Is this a bad route to go? I can get the regular DEPOs for $300 but they also have HID equipped DEPOs on Ebay for a bit more. The only thing that bothers me is potential issues with the HID kit (errors/not working) as time goes on, compared to just the stock DEPOs where I can just upgrade the AEs.

Let me know. Here is the link.

there have been so many problems with the depos. If it was me, I would just go ahead and ask the ebay seller if it has any code errors. You might as well buy the headlights with the HIDs. if the HID give codes or errors, you can still just put in normal bulbs and get it to work?

it also seems like they don't accept returns, only swaps if your unit doesn't work, so you might want to think about that as well

edit: also, **********s sells an error module fixer for 39.99, so you could just ask them to buy that

No, hid projectors focus the light narrowly. Halogen bulbs wouldn't be as good. But hid bulbs and ballasts arent complicated or hard to find or replace. If the housing is well built I would go for it. Usually its the ballasts that give problems.

Keep us updated! I'm thinking about doing the same thing but I'm not sure what the best course of action would be.

Yah its either this or go for a rear 135i bumper painted for $300 from a body shop that I came into contact through Ebay. (which is a hell of a deal) and they are reputable.

Ah nice, I was thinking about doing something like that too. But I decided I wanna change out the headlights first. I saw that you mentioned you could upgrade the AE's on the DEPO's how would you do that?

Well just switch out the stock T5 bulbs with some LED ones to make it brighter. DEPOs only have 4 of those bulbs per ring (16 total). But there are complaints with the dim stock bulbs and dead space in between the space of the 4 bulbs...

Doesn't bother me too much.

Ahh okay, thanks for the info.
Whatever happened to the DEPO BavX LS1's? Is that not happening anymore?

[Satalite]

I don't know. I originally had the okay that it was possible in June but I messages them in Dec. and they said they can't do it anymore... I have no idea why and they ignore all my messages.

I just installed the Depo's with a MTEC 6000k HID kit and upgraded the AE myself with some small side firing LED's. You can still see the 4 "dead spaces" on each AE. Also the picture was taken during daylight in lightly shaded area. Take a look! I can get some night photos tonight if you want.
