    Everywhere I've seen, these are going for $800 or more

    anyone know where I can find them for less? If not, what the story with the depot replicas? What modifications need to be made to make them work?

    DEPO FTW! Paid like 220 shipped off ebay back in the day, looked and worked very excellent with a 6500k cqlighting HID kit. Got many great compliments on them, and the light output was amazing. This is a touchy topic, cause about 50% on here love the depos and then another 50% say they suck (funny thing is, the people who say they suck usually never even had them)

    Do a seach, there are hundreds of threads on this topic alone.

    DEPO FTW. i've had mine for over a year now, and they still are great no condensation at all. even if they DID suck, which they dont, you can buy 3 pair before buying 1 "Valeo" pair.

    the cutoff is the same as ecodes, the blinker housing is also the same. they are the same! only thing is they are H7 halogen housings not D2S HID so if you want the xenon still you have to do some sort of HID kit. my VVME kit was 55 dollars. I may do a 55w kit someday for shits and giggles

    The people who paid full price for the real ones are just mad because they paid a bunch of extra money for something that looks and functions the same.

    I did the Depo's and made them work with the OEM xenon ballasts.....They could charge $600 for the DEPO's and they would still be a good deal if the OEM ones are $800.

    I paid $219 + shipping a few months back. The only thing I didn't like as much was the rear cap wiring (which I didn't need anyways because I used my stock OEM ones for the Xenon retrofit.

    Booyah!
