Just one thing to watch out for

The drivers side headlight and the wiper motor have the same grounding point on my car, im guessing the spike in voltage when powering up/down the hids blew it
I had to run a new grounding cable for the motor to stop it happening again

Has anyone else blown their front wiper motor yet. :scared:

Can anyone post here once Depo lights are back in stock? eurowagensltd on ebay said they don't even know when they'll be getting them back in.

Hey sorry to post on an old thread but came across this and had a (likely dumb) question which I hope someone can help with. If you fit a HID kit for the main dipped beam; when you use the full beam do you still have a standard bulb fitted?  :confused:

Any up to date links for any set of xenons that won't require the 6 o clock mod? Please :)

Glad I found this as I've been watching the depo one on ebay for a while now. I even made another thread asking if they were any good and several people confirmed they were and there was no mention of this 6 o clock mod.

So can someone confirm if the depo's do or don't require this mod?

Does anyone know if the Depo Xenon look headlights will work with the coming home/leaving function?

Also are they able to be programmed through Vag-Com to enable US indicators as DRL's? From the photos I've seen the sidelights are next to the indicator, rather than in the main beam?

Very tempted by the Depo's as the Hella's are discontinued and proving impossible to find new!

I have the Depo's and coming/leaving home lights still work (with HID kit).

US Sidelights should work too - it's just coding related, as is the above mate.

Hope that helps.

I bought from here - cheapest I could find:

Perfect! Thanks for the info and link.

Are you happy with the quality of yours?

Also, the sidelights are definitely in the bottom of the headlight, next to the indicator, as per OEM Xenon's?
