You're gonna have to link to whatever ebay ad your looking at if you want us to tell you what they will come with. Depo does NOT ship their headlights WITH hids as they're not designed to run them. Some ebay seller is including them on their own

Gonna be hard to find someone making them. It's a lot of work, and they can be quite expensive. Don't expect to get someone to make these for you for less than $600-$700. You can try PMing Maven and see if he's still making these. Otherwise, if you're interested in retrofitting them yourself, check out hidplanet.com, there's a large resource on retrofitting on that site. Buyhids.com can get you the kit to do it, but if you'd like to see what comes in the kit, look here.

so i think i've decided to get the gen4 depo projectors and a ddm hid kit separate
Depo Gen 4
DDM Hid
With the DDM hid kit I have a few questions...

#1 - Is 55w going to be better than 35w (Extra $10 - whats the difference)

#2 - What's the "dual in-dual" out harness for?

#3 - Do i need an error eliminator? I dont think I have a bulb out warning light, so this shouldn't do anything, right?

#4 - Adaptor cable - only option is H1/H7 to 9006... ???

#5 - How necessary are mounting brackets??

Thanks again for all the help everybody!

I'm glad someone else is asking these questions because quite honestly I have all the same ones as this fellow when it comes to HID's/retrofits.

1. Stick with 35w. 55w WILL be brighter, but they run at a much hotter temp, and they put out more UV rays, and can burn the chrome reflector bowl of the projector over time, ruining the projectors\

2. No clue, just get a standard 9007 single xenon relay harness

3. no need

4. No adaptor necessary, just a standard 9007 relay harness

5. Mounting brakets should come with the ballasts, if not, you can double sided tape them to the metal bracket under the headlight braket.


If you or anybody else has any specific questions regarding headlights, hids, or retrofits, feel free to PM me, I'll help you out the best I can.

wherever you're ordering your hids from should be able to get one for you.

Can anyone link a good guide to retrofitting projectors? I plan to be doing this mod in a month or so and want to make sure I fully understand the process

I have Gen 2 projectors that have hazed up from the inside cause the sealant cracked. Could I use the oven method to take apart the headlight assembly or is that just meant for stock headlight assemblies?
