Default Black housings/Euro projector review...

here are some pics of the Depo black housings with projectors from procarparts.com. for those who don't know, they are the same two piece projectors from lltek. however, if you plan on ordering these be prepared to contact procarparts.com and request the proper wiring harnesses. the harnessess provided were as follows: hi-H7, low-9006, city light-194(iirc). after receiving the correct harnesses (high/low-H7, city light-194)the housings are still not plug and play for a H7 HID kit but will accomidate H7 halogen bulbs. if you plan on upgrading to an H7 HID kit you will have to "modify" the HID bulb in the projector.

5000K H7 HID w/city lights and pass fog light:

5000K H7 HID only @ approx 20 feet:

aside from the incompetence and misleading advertising of both the company-Depo and distributor - procarparts.com, i am pleased to finally have headlights. i can honestly say that procarparts.com tried to accomidate me the best they could but the reality is that Depo screwed up! i am unaware of any A4 that takes a 9006 bulb, please correct me if i'm wrong. these are in no way plug and play for a HID upgrade.

with that aside, the housings are made of plastic similar to the stock halogen two piece. the back of the housings have two optional "holes"(one on the back casing about 1 3/4" x 2" and one in the back of the housing 1" by x 3/4") to run the HID wires through. the projectors work great with HID's, not sure about halogens. the city lights had to be rewired by moving the pin to work with the fog lights.

i still have to fix the drivers side fog and aim the projectors properly. overall, i am please with the final product but would be hesitant to purchase anything from procarparts.com again, buyers beware.

Kinda evil. I think they would look good on a silver car.

Default What did you have to modify for the HID kit to fit?

I have the regular/chrome version of these 2 piece projectors with regular halogen H7's, and I'm looking to fit an HID in the near future. What sort of kit did you install? I'm guessing MisterJungs, because of the 5000K, and that is exactly what I'm considering.
