Depots no more?

[inkpot]

Anyone have a driver side OEM headlight they want to sell me?? My adjuster is broke and its up to high. PM if you do. Thanks

I am running the original driver's side, but it has a crack in the lens. I found a good replacement. MIght work for you if you can swap the lens with yours. John

I've been interested in the depo hid retrofit for a couple years. The cost of the materials has kept me in oem. I found a something similar at http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/468770369/Head_Lamp_for_toyota_land_cruiser.html but don't want to deal with a minimum buy of 100 pieces, and don't know if they are cheap plastic or glass. Anyone know anything about them?

They appear to be Depo's. However the Chinese are known to use pictures of other products. A lot of the LED sellers use rigid industries pictures and when the light bar arrives it's extremely cheap with Epistar LED's and thin glad lens. It's hard to tell without ordering a few sample pairs.

It seems like I have a little homework to do. Here is the email from the supplier. I am going to try and source more for you guys, I can't promise anything though.


Email:

No, we no longer carry them and we don't know when we will be getting them. If you still have problem with your set, we will be glad to take them back.

BEST REGARDS,

KT,

I am inquiring about the 1991-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser Depo headlights, I have several customers that would like to purchase these headlights and cannot find them online anywhere. Do you any in stock?

Thank you,
Nick

Any luck with this Nick?

I f'd around and kept putting off buying a set of Depo light and now I'm screwed.

Still searching guys. I haven't heard back from KT yet. I can open a thread in the merchandise storefront and gather a confirmed list. That way I can email them with a price tag and maybe that will wake them up.

That would be good...consider me in.

Me too for sure. I remember the first time they were ''gone''. Maybe they will pop up again like last time.

I hope so. Depo no longer makes the 100 headlights, that killed some of my business. The 80 guys have been fabulous, hands down, rent paid, food on table, I thank you guys for purchasing headlights and retrofitting through me. If in fact Depo has stopped production I'll have to find another source of income. My retro Bussiness is slimming down too fast, it just picked up to!

 

[scrowley]

That sucks. WTF Depot. Can you contact Depot somehow and maybe try to buy a bulk order of 80 and 100 H/L's? Maybe 50 sets of each (80 & 100) at $100 ea. is $10k. Maybe they would do it. After you sell approx. 30 sets everything would be profit (guessing out of pocket costs) Teach a worker to do the retro. By the 30 set they can do them all and you can be doing other vehicle retrofits. Then again and again and then you'll be the rich retrofit guy. Ahhhhhh...sorry for the ramble. drinking beers. But I'm sure somewhere in china the machines for them is just sitting there... I would be down for a set of depot with hids. Good luck with your business. Hope depot brings them back.

I'd be in for a set, un-retrofitted. I've always wanted new headlights but kept putting it off. If they're gonna be unobtanium, better jump on them now!

 

[2000UZJ]

Retro or not I want to have a source for them. I'll keep digging and sending emails.

Does anybody on here speak Taiwanese?

 

[VIIIFe]

I've seen some substitutions or similar options on Alibaba, but I can't help with translating.

Found a source but it comes with a steep price: http://www.andysautosport.com/toyota/1990_1997_land_cruiser/lights/headlights/option_racing/

Does anyone know this seller? Cheapest depo' I've seen.

 

[dra2120]

2000uzj did you ever get a "group buy" thread going? I'd be in for all six pieces if you could source them. I'd also be in for a Hella 90mm BI-LED projector retro if you could swing it.

 

[Schwaz80]

Are these any good?
