Depots no more?

[IanB]

So it seems that my OEM lights are Eurospec to begin with... Am I interpreting these inscriptions correctly?

This means I don't have to do any harness conversions to run my Depos right?

That's correct, your factory harness should plug right into the Depo's.

I know I bought these lights last year but they just got installed today.

I ended up mounting the ballasts under the battery tray on the forward face of the wheel well and the relays on the fender in the battery compartment. Made for a nice clean install. Night and day difference, literally!

One question though, how do I align these so as not to blind on coming traffic?

Rick, Depots have adjustment bolts right on top ....the two long rods in the picture below ....a Philips screw drive is needed
the second picture i copied from above shows the two adjustments screws

I know how to adjust them but how to I aim them? So far from a building and how high the cutoff or something like that.

Someone needs to verify these and start selling to us here. I really want some for my lx,just afraid they won't fit.

They won't fit. Unless you change the grill.

Simplified....from Chef J who did my conversion
"Measure the height of your projectors on the truck, likely 30-36" in height, @ 25' on a wall make your cutoff 2" below your measurement. Should be legal in pretty much any state and has worked well for me. The pitch adjustment will help you to marry or separate the cutoffs of the individual projectors."

Thanks, that makes it easier.
