First I have to mention everyone who has done a retro-fit into Depos and posted up images and tips. I'm not even going to name names as I don't want to miss anyone, Thank you for you innovation and knowledge.
Next, I have to thank Matt at theretrofitsource.com, great guy to work with, I can truly say I have not had better customer service!
I initially set out to do an FX-R fit but then decided to try the new Morimoto Mini D2S kit the sell
Bi-xenon Morimoto Mini Stage III Kit (D2S) - Complete Kits from The Retrofit Source LLC
I wanted to try and simplify the process as much as possible then do a write up if it worked so that there was really no reason anyone wouldn't want to take on the project if they had a set of Depos and the desire. The biggest positive of the Morimoto kit is that it almost completely does away with the need to remove or modify the projector bowl. Just as important is eliminating the need to align the projector over and over while mounting it properly, the projector is designed to fit and align in the H4 bowl with a firm yet flexible polymer ring on the bowl side and a lock ring on the back. Simply put, It Works Perfectly!
Step 1
Heat up the entire light housing so you can remove the glass, there are a lot of write-ups out there on how to do this so I wont go into great detail, just don't forget the thing in the oven, it doesn't have to get that hot to soften the adhesive
Step2
I elected to use aluminum tape to cover any holes on the projectors before mounting them. Matt at TRS suggested doing so if I found any odd stray light, I figured since I was keeping the reflector bowl chrome I might as well since he said it wouldn't hurt anything and I didn't want to tear it apart again if I didn't have to
