ive never seen it installed... do they look good?

 

which ones?

 

My Black Depos aka gen 4s

 

Here they are in silver. I've also modded them to handle HIDs.

 

my car is black wow thanks alot they look awesome! i heard they crack is that true? and if they do what part?

 

Cracking? That's new to me. These, imo, are great quality headlights. First gens crack easily. Second gens halos burn out easily. Never had third gens. Been very happy with 4th gens so far.

 

It's just the lenses anyway, just swap your stockers on if they start peeling.

 

Iirc, 4th gen headligts are using OEM lenses. Partnumber is in the lens at the very bottom edge.

 

What do u mean mod them to use hids?

 

thanks guys! LOVE the depot (4thgen) look!

 

There ya go, nothing to worry about then.

 

They come with halogen bulbs. H7's iirc. I drilled out the center of the rubber backing for the low beams, pushed HIB bulb through and sealed with rubber plug and rubber sealant that HID wires were going through when I got them. When you look at them you can't tell that the HIDs were not a part of them originally. Btw, I got my HIDs from 3bspec.com.

 

I have the black Gen4 Depo's and couldn't be happier with them. I put HID's in them as soon as I got them and don't have any issues. Get them you won't be disappointed.

 

Where can you pick these up at?

 

Can you post some more pics? I think I might pick these up cuz I can't afford retros

 

Here's mine.

 

So how is the intall for hids with these? I have 8 k in my housings now do I need anything else or will it just plug in the same way they do now? I'm just confused how it works since there's high and lows now, thanks

 

New bulbs have to be purchased in order to work since these headlights use H7 bulbs while stocks are 9007.

 

Had my 2nd gen's for 2 yrs now & they are still just as bright as the day I put them in. If I could afford custom fancy retrofits I would go that route w/out question.

My headlights are in my sig. but they are actually a very bright white not blue pic has been edited obviously lol.

 

So if I buy h7 bulbs I can plug those into my old ballast? I thought the low and high beam bulbs are pre wired?

 

If bought new they are prewired its plug and play.

If adding an HID kit (highly recommend due to halogen causing stress cracks in gen 4s) then just order the H7 hid kit. Cut a small slit in the rubber plug grommet run the hid wires through it plug everything in put the rubber grommet back in. Then put sealant on the slit in the rubber grommet. Then your done!


Heres mine along with some of the stress cracking I was talking about. I dont recommend running the halogen bulbs in the gen 4s as it does or did cause stress cracking. It was said a while back that they have since fixed the stress cracking issue. My set was one of the earlier sets.

Who sells the 4th gen depos

 

Dodge SRT4 - Dodge Caliber SRT4 - Dodge Neon - Chevrolet Cobalt SS Performance Parts and Accesories

 

Yea I was gonna buy some but heard about the stress cracking. So the sets there selling now dont have this problem anymore?

 

Thats what I was told. Though people with the original sets that never ran the stock halogen bulbs dont seem to have cracking issues. So to be safe id say to order the hids at the same time and do the hid install in the gen 4 depot lights before ever turning them on.


Lots of places to get decent hid sets for cheap.
