    Sounds good! I think tomorrow I'll be comfortable giving the green light. I'm trying to find the perfect o-ring for one of the screws and I have a few more types coming today.

    These are just for the adapters and you would still need to purchase a retrofit kit, but, my goal was to keep the price of them affordable. That's what I would want if it was me.

      Thanks for the compliment, too. I defintely spent way more time than I thought I would on it. I know what annoys me on other sites and wanted to make my own version of what a pleasing and efficient website would look like.

        Don't forget the squared come with projectors though.

        (Not a knock at either kit, they're both great.)

          They do. But they're priced accordingly to reflect that they come with projectors. And then you have to buy all the remaining parts separately. I thought it would be easier to buy the adapters and then a complete retrofit kit separately.

              Oh I totally didn't see that! I might want to sit back on this and see reviews from other people.

                The kits from Squared used the same projectors that these are made for. The projectors alone are $160 from Retrofit Source, so selling it all together for $145 wouldn't be a smart move on my end. lol.

                    Once ready for the depo smileys, will you provide links for the rest of the kit?

                      I can certainly post links to the kit you would need! That's a great idea.

                        Hey guys. I got the DEPO ones to a point that I was really happy with. Both US Ellipsoids and DEPO Smileys are on there. I'm not sure what else I'm waiting for, so if you want a set, please feel free to place an order!

                        Because I had seen it asked a couple times. Here's the cutoff pattern on the DEPO. This is a bench test on my car that is 3' in the air on my lift. So it's not a terribly great real life representation. But sure does beat the OEM cutoff and light output!

                          Depo smiley ordered.

                          But the cut off is determined by the projector?

                            Yeah. I had a couple people elsewhere ask what the cutoff looks like. Posted here just in case anyone was also wondering!


                            Also: Thank you! First one. Was there an option to notify you when I switched it to "In stock"? Because that was super fast. Haha.

                              I just so happen to see that it was in stock when I check the website today. I'm used to things being sold out, so I try and be prepared.

                              I've been waiting a year for squared to reply so I am over due for this mod.

                                Gotcha! I think I turned it on to in stock about 30 seconds before you must have seen it. Haha.
