Hi guys, I have heard many conflicting stories about these DEPO angel eyes, just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with them, be it bad or good??

Just installed the depo's. no issue yet and they look nice. Check the search icon I know there's plenty of info on the subject. Good luck.

That sounds okay as I have HIDs too. Are they any hassle to install?

yeah i just got mine, ther okay,


im only dislike is how they dont work during the day, cuz they are not neon or anything, and how you can see the 4 bulbs somtimes, but other then that they do look great, ill post pics up for you later, or maybe tonight as soon as it gets darker,

wiring was a bit** thoo, and taking out my original headlights was an a** as well, had to take out whole grille and you know....

Post Pic if you can, I'm really interested to see what they look like, I have to take front bar/grille etc off anyway for respray, that's what got me thinking about throwing these in at the same time...

i got some connector splice stuff from Hella to do the job correctly, and next week i will be rewiring the angel eyes to the parking light harness with a relay and a capacitor and some other crap in there, and will have them independantly controllable from a stock switch on the dash.

Is it possible to just use the wiring from the park lights, As I have disconnected the park lights anyway due to having HIDs I didnt like the yellow globes above the white lights...

Search. There are many posts about it, and some with very detailed pictures as well.

After 6 months... no response from Umnitza (oh they "Assured me" that a replacement lens was comming)

Before they were installed I put Lamin-X on them... the lenses never saw a single rock... it just fell off.

Edit: Ive got some Euro smileys comming from the UK now... Hella FTW! :)

Must we have another thread regarding this terrible choice of lighting?

They're barely worth the $200.USD

You will probably have to cut and splice into your existing wiring.

They shouldn't be your first choice.. there is no hidden value.. better to buy used hellas and change lenses

I i have the one InPro makes, this is the same as you know as DEPO i think.

When i first installed them and adjusted them i broke some clips. I bought new OEM clips at the BMW dealer, they fittet the Inpro lights aswell. Then after some winterdriving (salt belt) the relay powering the angeleyes stopped working, Opened it and it was full of rust. Replaced it with a normal 4 pin relay. No more troubles.

Some pics:

2 years and no problems. i originally installed using the supplied relay but that piece of shxt rusted after 2-3 weeks. since having replaced that, no problem. and then of course i found you don't even need a relay to run em

Mine have been fine too, no probs yet either - I didnt bother with the relay either.:)
