ah your making me nervous thats the same seller I got mine from....
Though I was told Depo is port of Certifit (sortafit). So we have a certifit dealer in town if thats the case I might see if they will swap them out.

 

What seller did you guys use on ebay? I'm looking at the sets from evolutionautosports? Anyone use them? I'm still trying to decide between black or chrome for my imperial blue....

 

What if I get the OEM lens put on my gen 4s

 

^then your problem is fixed and OEM lenses have a light shade of tint on them so they will look nicer. Iv had the same OEM lenses on 3 different headlights now. They are beautiful and RUGGED. They been in my oven like 10x.

 

That's good. I just need someone to do them for me. I don't have the patients to do it myself. I was also thinking about painting the housing silver

 

man up and do it! lol its so simple. I dont know why people are scared to do it. If you did it youd see how simple it is

 

I want to do the OEM lenses but I hate those lines that separate the turn signals from the beams on the stock lights. It messes up the beams from the projectors.

 

are you really polish? lol

 

didnt really mess mine up on my gen 3's


But honestly if you pick up a headlight lense repair kit from autozone, i bet you can wetsand them off

 

^ I guess its not so bad but people were complainin bout it with the 2nd gens. I just hate how it looks, but i love the tinted lenses.

 

omfg dont even get me started on 2nd gen's. I hate those things. i dont think it was the lense as much as the horrible projector in the 2nd gens. Those headlights are terrible

 

Yes sir

 

born there?

 

OEM lights FTW!

 

I got mine from americanmotorparts.
They said if anything happens they'll send out a replacement.

Tell me about it. I'm afraid to even sell mine to anyone because the cutoff is so terrible.

 

Nope

 

I think we need a how to install hid for these gen4 lights since some people keep askin and arent to mechanicaly inclined like myself.

 

If I would've read this a few hours ago I could have, I just got my replacements in.


Which brings me to my next question. Again with my gen 4s, the driver side has a yellowish tint around the cutoff/hot spot area, while the right side is blue. Its not the hids, bulbs, or ballasts because I tried switching them. I even put the driver side headlight on passenger side to see and that yellow tint followed it. So I sent for replacements and the new ones do the same damn thing. Any suggestions, I'm stumped?

 

I have been through 2 sets of the Depo Gen 4's as well and both sets had the yellow hue on the drivers side.

 

Pretty straight forward honestly.... Most difficult thing is cutting a hole in the grommet on the back of the lights and running the wires through... if using the ddm kit just match up the connectors. the 2 exposed metal plugs just push into the h7 connector in the gen 4's. Push grommet back on and and your pretty much done...

but here...

1#pull old headlight off.
2# mount ballasts in a place thats fairly dry and within reach of the wires.
3# pull the bulb out and put in the hid bulb.
4# cut the grommet and route the wires through it.
5# plug the connectors in and plug the exposed clips into the H7 plug that was on the original lowbeam connector.


If you really need a walk through I can take pictures when my ballast comes back. But honestly you only need 4 things to put these things in...

alcohol and rag (to clean the spot for the double sided tape to mount the ballast)
a knife (to cut a whole in the grommet)
and a 10mm socket/ratchet

Not to be mean but if you get it and cant figure it out then modifying cars isnt for you. You will see what I mean when you get all of the stuff in. The connectors will only fit one way.

did they make you send the originals in first then sent your replacements?
Ive also noticed a yellow line between the cutoff and the hid. Doesnt truly bother me though. The stress cracks are the bad part for me.

 

the only thing that sucks about HID's is its a project if you ever wanna remove your headlight again since now the HID bulb wires run underneath the headlight bracket, so i have to remove the headlight bracket at the same time as the headlight to disconnect the wiring harness from the ballast. Or remove the HID bulb while removing the headlight. PITA.

 

I'm kinda OCD and this bugs the hell out of me lol. What did you end up doing?

Anyone else have this problem? Any solution?

 

Yeah, No doubt. I've done it a few times now. It sucks.

I just installed my Gen4's today with a ddm 6000k kit. I never noticed any yellow.

 

Same problem except mine has some green above the cutoff too so it's pretty bad.

 

Yeah mines just like that except yellow. It bugggssss me
