    Re: Depo Head Lights

    you have to trim if you are going from 2piece to 1piece, and as far as i know, depo doesnt make 1pcs (could be wrong though)

    the difference in wiring may be because the depo housings don't have fog lights, and have city lights instead. i actually had a wire pull out of one of my housings when i bought them, and ended up just pulling the plugs/wires to lights from one of my old ones and putting it in

    Re: Depo Head Lights

    They make both 1 and 2 piece lights.

    The wiring between ALL one and 2 piece OEM style lights is different.

    You may have to re-use your old bulb holder for the signal lights. Also you'll lose your fogs since these have city lights instead.

    Re: Depo Head Lights

    If you go 2-piece to 2-piece, the wiring stays exactly the same.

    Mine have held up well except that the driver side turn signal fogs up occasionally.

    If you re-use your old bulb holder for the signal lights. That's how mine was anyway. The bulb holders that came with the depos had a different end on them.

    I did it a couple months ago and you need a dremel to cut the fenders.

    Heres a DIY
