DIY blackout the stockies...you won't have to worry about factory defects or fitment issues

 

diy is the best bet. after a while the film on the replicas will start to peal. look nasty

 

What film?

First time hearing anything like that...



Anways, I got my Depos from eBay and never had a problem with them.

 

DEPO makes quality stuff

 

the film is peeling on my depos to. i dont know what it is. its almost all the way peeled off so i guess it should be fine. i dk? does anyone know what that film is for or is it important?

thread starter: just do black outs, less problems

 

Are you sure you are not talking about the protective film that it is packaged with. You are supposed to take that off. The outside is clear plastic.

I loved my depos.....there were no fitment issues. It lined up perfectly and looked good. You can see the quality is similar to the OEM. I have seen cheap headlights and tail lights believe me. DEPO was probably the best I have seen.

AND.....

JDM is over rated, over priced and there is too much crap out there using the JDM tag to make a sale :noes:. :bow:

I just like the clean look.

 

yeh i just blacked mine out alot of my friends have aftermarket replica and it peels, looks like it has aids

 

Depos FTL

Use that money and get some JDM headlights

 

Have you every tried DEPOS??? Also the JDM Lights have a slightly different beam patters as I have heard due to the left hand drive. I don't want to blind oncoming traffic.


Also...just FYI your quote is supposed to be "than" not "then" - sorry just a weird pet peeve

I just don't have time to DIY the blackouts. Just started a new job and I have a new house.

I will probably just get DEPO again.

thanks

 

hmmm im in the market to get some headlights but was afraid to get depos(i have heard of fitment issues) ... but since you guys say theyre legit i might have to go ahead and get some...thanks

 

:self:

 

Tyc > Depo

 

If your lenses are cracked bake them and take out the guts the part that everyone paints. That is where I got the ones for mine it makes it so much nicer because you can take your time letting the paint dry all the way but you don't have to have all the down time. I bought them off some one on here so I am sure you could sell the internals and make some extra cash.

 

TYC makes alot of the aftermarket parts for bodyshops. top quality stuff

 

I just bought TYC blacked out headlights from ebay, i would say is an okay quality...they dont fit perfectly but acceptable. If i look really2 closely, the sides a lil bit bulged out but it's only a lil bit so it's not that obvious. They are a lil bit heavier than the stock headlights. Mine also have minor condensation prob in front of the high beam area but it's not that much. But again, i assume every unit would be different than one another since they're replica...

 

Does any of these JDM style headlights have them where there isn't any writing printed on the lower part of the headlight? I see in many pics of the driver's side like this.

 

Do the DEPOs have the same beam pattern as our sotckies? I plan on puttin HIDs on em when they both arrive. Hopefully the combo works and no fitment issues.

 

go with tyc, i would suggest DIY .........

 

i have depo and love em

 

put on the depos yesterday..fit perfectly. looks great too. im never going to spend 500 on REAL jdm headlights fuck that. id rather spend that on a nice steak and 3 asian bitches to serve me up while i eat it HA

 

What about the black color finish in the lights? How does it compare to a DIY black out or JDM? I've heard it's flat black instead of a gloss..

 

yeah, they are flat black. it doesnt look as nice but definately better than stock :thumbsup:

 

I DIYed my first set look great for about a year or so then started to haze over and stuff. I got TYC reps now and the look great and have had no problems with them. Heres a pic.

 

i got depo's a month back and love them. fit perfectly

 

What is TYC?

Link please.

 

Just put on my Depo's today (stockies were getting all cloudy) and so far so good. The light pattern is full of imperfections but nothing that impairs my ability to see anything. As far as looks, they are :drool: and I was really surprised when I was installing them and found that they fit even better than my stock lights.

I hear Depos are hit or miss, so it seems like I ended up with a hit, but I'll be sure to share with CRSX if my opinion changes later on.

Now to figure out if there's anyone that could possibly want to adopt a pair of foggy, scratched up stock lights...

 

my celica came w/ tyc tails..they were leaky pieces of crap with broken studs...i replaced them with oem tails

 

the diy looks nicer plus you'll feel good when u realize u saved a bunch of money lol
