It has taken awhile but I am finally done!!

Those damn Depo lights were hard to find!!!

Setup:

Depo Glass Headlights
Honda S2000 Projectors
55W Phillips Bulbs
55W Digital Ballasts
Gattling Gun Shrouds
Slee Headlight Harness
Depo Side Markers

Based on the specs above this should be the best lighting setup around on a 80 series ;)

Cutoff and lighting pics to follow!

Nice work, that looks sweet!
 
Very :grinpimp::cool::smokin: dare I ask you for a price breakdown? Those don't look like your everyday fleabay setup:hillbilly:
 
seeing as I had to bribe a member to sell me their Depo headlights for $400!.... If you could still find these headlights, they would run about $200...

the other parts totaled $600.....

You could go with TSX projectors and save another $200...
 
Nice, I take it that these Depo lights aren't made anymore? I thought Mot had some glass headlights for sale a while back but they must have been different.

Sorry to get off topic, but what did you use for the hood louver? Is that to help with underhood temps or provide fresh air to a custom intake?
 
You need clear turn lights now, for the ARB too.

Click to expand...

They're the same, made by DEPO.

And they can still be had... if anybody gets desperate enough PM me. :grinpimp: ;)

BTW, citadel, pretty slick looking set up! :cool;

Any pics of them in action???

Mot :cheers:
 
ahh, those look amazing. I must do those to my depos at some time.

cutoff picture would be great.

Will you do anymore? if so price? I already have the lights

more info if ya got it

any installation photos? (of the process?)
do you have part numbers for the other parts (honda)?
any reason you chose honda s2000 over tsx?
It looks really nice.
 
s2k's have the best intensity of all projectors made today... TSX is in 2nd IMO and much cheaper.... HID Planet is a great source for info! I am still tweaking the aiming so I dont have the cutoff pics just yet
 
additional pics

still need to aim them... both left and right headlights need to be aimed more to the center so there is only 1 step showing... at 25' the drop should be 2.5" but I am running over that now by a couple inches... :)

thanks guys!
 
Is it possible to get a parts number breakdown and where did you get the Gattling Gun Shrouds? You did a killer job.
 
That is the first projector install I have seen that looks really good. It has a stock appearance.

The pattern looks like it might be a little high, especially to the left. Have you been flashed yet?
