    Helix lights w/ actual e-codes?

    I was surfing the Audizine GB thread.

    Stumbled across this:

    Not a bad price if it's legit, and the clear corners are a plus. It would give me good reason to buy a 55w kit as well. Thoughts?

    I saw these too but was not able to find any posted pics or feed back from any B5 S4 guys. I'm seriously considering the Depo lights since most buyers seem pretty happy with them.

    I couldn't be happier... had them over a year now no problems at all.... I dont see why anyone would pay the extra money for the overpriced Valeos... unless you want to keep stock xenon components of course.. but most people want to upgrade to 55 w anyways now.

    Are the Depo units cheaper than the Helix ones? If you could post up pics of your beam pattern, that would be wonderful man.

    Btw, it shouldn't be hard to mount the 55w ballasts and all that to a set of Helix or Depo lights right?

    Thanks for the input. I'll look into Depos. Suggestions on where I can pick up a set for the best price? How much did the entire setup end up running you?

    Beam pattern/cutoff is IDENTICAL to Ecode... these are exact replicas and I have had mine working for well over a year and like Bastard (lol) said, I light up the wholeee dam road.

    thats it, you're a local! I'm buying one soon! I've had my VVME 35W kit for over a year, it has done me well, but I would love more light output. Ill order up soon.

    Thanks for the link. One last question. Do these come with the city lights? If I recall correctly, I remember seeing people being able to light up bright led city lights.
