How do just recieved both my depos and 10,000k h7 HID kit :cool:
Sounds a bit gash I know but Just spent a fair bit on these and dont want to break either so best ask ehh :embarassed:
Just want to clarify realy that Iv got it set up right, as it seems weird that theres no power needed unless its linked somewhere in the actual headlight that then connects to the original lighting plugs in the cars loom!? and Dont even get me started on the instructions :rolleyes:
So I presume these spade connectors go in here!? not sure what that other wire and connector is for (can someone point me in the right direction!?)

thanks guys and girls

That looks right to me, they are powered in the same was as all other bulbs in the unit, only you have the ballast to ensure the current is consistent.
The white cable is for the motor to adjust the beam angle, before you fit the lights make sure you change them to RHD otherwise you'll blind everyone!
-
all connected correctly and the other wire connects to the headlamp adjusters, that look like the following.

-
As Nick and Wayne said, will fail mot from january. :tongue:

thats fine means and ways round that!!
Next question! how the hell do you take out headlight adjusters from oem lights to put into the depos!? :huh:
-
thats fine means and ways round that!!
Worth remembering that you could still fail a roadside check. :smiley:
-

The light clusters have a projector unit, so if he fits them there, he should be fine, however, he will still be one of those inconsiderate 'I want brighter headlights that make your retinas hurt and iris shut down causing a danger to other people around as you can't see now' drivers.
-
Rightt latest problem!!
Cant get either high beams to work!?
How ever
foglights come on with command from 'highbeam stalk possition' in cabin
-
When you upgrade to the DEPO headlights you need 4xH7 bulbs (one for the dipped & main beam in each unit), standard headlights have 2xH7 and 2xH1.
The block that your holding in the last picture is for your main beam bulb.
There should be a yellow(?) wire with a connector floating around somewhere in the unit, this is for the fog light wire to connect to. The black wire is already connected to the fog lighter holder.
Hope that makes sense.
-
Infact I've taken another look at your pic, the yellow wire is connected to a H1 bulb in the main beam unit, unplug this and connect it to the fog light. Find another H7 bulb to put in our main beam unit and plug that connector block into it = job done :wink:

Not sure, I would have thought so :undecided:
Did your standard headlights have fogs built into them? Another way to check to to see if your switch pulls out once or twice when the lights are on, once is rear fogs, twice is front :wink:
-
Hmm strange one, My oem lights had front fogs and bulbs in them but I never tried to see if they actually worked,,, schoolboy error :rolleyes:
another question will it be safe to run 100w high beam bulbs in the depo with out melting anything etc!?
:smiley:

100w aren't legal, stick with 50w :wink:

does all wat has been said apply to all depo lights i was going to get a set at the end of the month but looks abit like a
train crash :huh:
-
Right I now have working high beams, angel eyes :sick: front fog lights and passenger xenon, drivers side xenon has decided to stop working along with drivers indicator :angry:
Tiredd, cold, wet, now full of flu and generally pissed off.
but ideally this need sorting tonight as Iv got a job interview tomorrow morning :cool:
I think the N/S low beam is shorting with N/S indicator as when you have all the lights on without even having the indicators or hazards on the indicator sign in the cluster glints a bit of life as do both N/S low beam and indicator with out them being on if that makes sense!?
-
Yeah Bricey, ill help you put them in if you want mate..
I want to see pic ok 10k HID's, lol, must be really blue :huh:
-
Just to clear this up, every thing is working as it should, on further inspection after strip down I noticed I accidentally bent a few of the pins where the car loom plugs into the head light :rolleyes:, I blame the dark and child :tongue:
Anyway just managed to get a few pics

Are they in projector lenses?

-

-
