    what is wrong with Depo's? I have just ordered a set and wonder what flaws you about?

     

    As far as I'm aware...

    - made for LHD market, therefore projector points the wrong way.. could be an M.O.T failure

    - orange daylight running lights, not keen

    - general messing swapping over ballasts etc although that's not really an issue

    DEPO headlights - who has installed? Q's..

    My set from torqen came set up for right hand drive and was plug and play (not sure all sets come rhd though) obviously had to unscrew the ballasts from my stock lights and screw them onto these. 

     

    For indicator problem were for me my hazards came on each time I indicated ,on drivers side headlight there is a blue wire you snip to fix this problem. 

     

    Order some new O rings from torqen and they shouldn't leak and place some silica gel packs inside for safety. 

     

    For bulbs I used my old led set W5W sidelight 

    D2S bulbs for main beam 

    For indicator bulbs found it difficult to find a set that fitted perfectly but these are the correct fitment https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-3157A-180-CAR-BULBS-AMBER-WEDGE-BRAKE-TAIL-FOG-REVERSE-INDICATOR-12V-27-7W/111245333422?hash=item19e6bd13ae:g:TdwAAOxyaTxTQJWB

    Love the lights really to be honest much needed mod 

     

     

    Thanks for the info PPod..

     

    I was chatting to Zworks over in the states as I was flirting with custom DEPO lights with Angel eyes and the top side LED changed from orange to white (assume your are orange on sidelights..?).

    The part number for the Depo lights sold here are for LHD models only... so when you say adjusted.. do you mean that the side adjustment has been maxed out to move over slightly..?

    Have you had an MOT yet...? Zworks stated that if I was going to get the lights made he would make a custom bracket and projector to suit RHD beam pattern.

    Just don't want to go down the route of replacing/upgrading headlights only to be an MOT failure and/or not light the road as intended..

    Hi Gents,

     

    Looking at these but have more questions than I have the confidence to click buy at the mo.. can anyone help with some feedback on some of these snippets I have found floating around the internet...

    (model 2005 GT4)

     

    - They are designed for LHD therefore light adjustment will not be right for UK roads

    - I've read people having grief about the indicators repeating too quickly due to LED people seem to be snipping a blue wire on the unit!?? Whaaat! How come, why etc..

    - Also read that people say you need to transfer the cover from OEM unit otherwise they will leak! (obviously ballast is swapped over with new seals, assume this is the plastic twist off cover..) don't want to spend out if these are highly likely to suffer from moisture ingress..!

    - As stated need to buy side light and indicator bulbs for LED - does that effect the workings with lower voltage..? Or just make sure you buy decent bulbs with the regulator thingies built in..?

     

    - Bulbs:

    - HD use exisiting from old lamp or buy new if so desired - options for higher output without upgraded ballast?

    - High beam use old or replace with LED? - bulb type

    - Low beam replace with LED as stated - D2S bulb

    - Indicator replace with LED as stated - 3157 bulb

     

    Any info gents, greatly appreciated.

    header / exhaust manifold - suggestions

    in Exhaust

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    Whilst clutch and flywheel are being done i'll be looking to swap out the headers as access will be good.

    Any recommends, don't want to buy poor quality nor do I want to be ridiculous.. 

    I've seen DC stainless and Tomei. The thing that leans me towards Tomei is that it looks as though you get everything in the kit, inc. a heat shield to suit the new headers.

    Any advice...?

    Thanks.
