Depo xenon look headlights just ordered,
« on: December 12, 2015, 08:47:35 pm »


Hello there I've just order a set of the above^

It says in the description the bulb type is H7/ H7/ H21W/ W5W

I'm assuming the x2 H7 would be for the main and dipped headlights? Which I'm assuming I can order two normal 6000k lamps?

I do have no idea which colour the H21W or the W5W should be? Is there any one who has the Depo xenon look headlights?

Can't help, but can I ask where you got them? I'm after a set myself.

The H21W bulbs are the indicators, when I bought these lights they were already fitted.

I bought 2 sets of Philips H7 bulbs and matching W5W from PowerBulbs.

Ahh okay, would I need to order Amber bulbs or would the casing have tinted Amber?

And I got them off eBay
Look at this on eBay:

Was going to use a Phillips or an osram night breaker, my experience in my job would say Phillips lamps are very good but obviously sparkys don't fit car lamps often :/

Mine categorically states that it comes with no lamps what so ever, could anyone tell me which lamp is the indicator bulb is it the W5W or the H21W?

The H21W bulbs are the indicators, when I bought these lights they were already fitted.

As stated, 21W are the indicators and W5W are the side lights.

Fit a HID kit or don't bother....the output will not cut it...indicator is H21W. Sidelight is W5W. Nightbreakers for the full beam lamps

Do the Nightbreakers or Philips Xtreme give off a blue tint at all? I'm after some new bulbs but do not want any hint of blueness.

I have standard h7s as it stands and it isn't so bad that I can't drive it however I am ordering some hid kits now, I've read somewhere that hid kits could potentially be illegal if they aren't fitted with an e mark and have headlight washers? Is there truth to this?
