Depo lights look good on silver  :happy2: :happy2: :happy2:
Did you try the reverse bulb in the headlight? It looks really bright, do you have the link?  :wink:

Do like the wagon mate.

Interested in the switches on the first page, for all of the electric windows, mirrors, etc.
Easy to fit?

Not a fan of the light output on those Depo's however. The lense unit doesn't look it has a very good cut off.
However they look ace and wouldn't tell the difference when it's parked up.

Have you considered moving to Sportline springs? The extra little drop would be really nice. Or consider some cheaper coilovers. I had JOMs and found them very comfortable, I used my car daily often with friends in it. And had some of the worlds biggest speedbumps to get over and it was fine.  :drinking:

Hi yes switches easy to fit ...I didn't even remove door cards as the handles come apart with platic trim tools ...yes I would agree with beam pattern on these depo lights ..no kick up at all ..but I can see fine on road ..tbh I wish I had got sportline springs now but will stick with these for now ..I got switches from boldsport

Thanks mate, Did you just spray on and agitate  the Jaffa Clean then rinse? What was the protectant you used? Autobrite again?

Many Thanks!!
