    They've been NLA for quite a while. Depo makes new replica sets though.

        yuk, i wouldn't let depot lick the sweat off my taint let alone buy anything from there.

        just get a set of euro elips and smoke them yourself. there is a diy on it.


        besides, if you saw the price of a new set, you would probably change your mind anyway.

          Depo's are quality. You can find them on ebay for pretty cheap. Ran them for almost 3 years with DDM hids/ballasts. No issues whatsoever.

            I have a set of smoked Depo smileys for my M-Tech and they've been great for me. Nothing beats the look of brand new lights. I put Lamin-X on them before they ever were installed. I have great light output and no fogging issues. I do also own 2 sets of clear Hella smiley and one set of French Hella smiley though.

              I've thought about getting a set of the depo like yours and putting my real ones on the shelf or even selling them. didn't the price go up quite a bit even on the replicas though? they used to be like $100.

                I think the smoked are around $180 and the clear about $140.

                    Is the projector/reflector part of depots interchangable with hella or bosch? I really just want new reflectors

                      that was what they were going for almost a year ago...i bought mine ON SPECIAL for $175 shipped from DTMfiberwerks. Now they're $245! ... http://dtmfiberwerkz.com/access/smok...hts-p-472.html

                      Crazy, the supply must have begun to dry up just after i bought mine 'cause every supplier upped their prices shortly after or just went out of stock.

                      EDIT: Jay@ExtremeAutos has 2 sets of smoked E30 Depo lights for $210 shipped, if anyone is interested. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=314209

                            squared motorworks doesn't make projectors, he makes brackets for the morimoto mini h1 6.0 projector to be retrofitted into bosch, hella and depo e30 headlights. he does offer them as a complete system with projectors and HID kits though...and the mori mini h1 6.0 really isn't "wild" as far as projectors go.

                              They are a decent upgrade ellipsoid wise, when it comes to light dispersion.
