Depo projectors???

Hey sorry if there has already been a post about these but I wasn't able to find anyone with these on their car. I just want to get a feel for what they would look like.
Anyone have these? and do they have good light output and how hard is it to install these? http://app.infopia.com/img/image/fp/VPID/8183674

I can't speak for these directly but I personally have the Depo turn signals and side markers on my Prelude. The quality seems to be pretty decent and fitment was good. My buddy has a base RSX with Depo headlights and he says the fitment and light output is as good as stock, however his are not the projectors...Hope that helps!

They produce a decent light output with HIDs. You wont get spectacular results since theyre not HID projectors, but its a lot better than the other ebay crap or HID kits in stock headlights.

DEPO makes replacement headlights for almost every car. The projectors in these headlights are the same that they use (or similar) in replacement headlights for late 90's audi's. A friend of mine has DEPO headlights on his audi and the output is either as good or better than stock.

how about you get it from here?

the store claims to use HID projectors, which would be 10 times better than halogens.

Those are the same exact headlights linked above.And no, theyre not HID projectors. If they were HID projectors they would require to be paired with ballasts and they would take D2S or D4S bulbs. Those headlights take H7 bulbs which are ordinary halogen bulbs.
