Title: DEPO PROJECTOR LIGHTS HELP!!!
Post by: Gtiene on July 03, 2016, 08:11:22 pm: Hi all

Recently purchased some DEPO projector lights

Thanks to @retroraz for fitting these top class service!!

The beams seem okay however a little high and the dipped beams are very high ( in the trees!!) any help on how to manually adjust them separately or the best way to go about getting them perfectly aligned.

Thanks in advance!!

Title: Re: DEPO PROJECTOR LIGHTS HELP!!!
Post by: slix on July 04, 2016, 06:33:02 pm: I'm thinking 6000k kit.
Title: Re: DEPO PROJECTOR LIGHTS HELP!!!
Post by: Gtiene on July 04, 2016, 06:34:55 pm: Not sure on charge! Send him a PM names @retroraz he will also programme in xenons without shutters to avoid wiper motor burning out!! And I went for 5000k, it's an exact match to xenons in my opinion and not to blue, depends what sort of look your after
