My Depo Headlights painted + xenon kit

I spent almost half a day working, but I think it was worth!

i Really like that, do you have any cut off picture that we can see. cuz if that turns out good, i'd rather do that then do a retrofit.

For those who are interested.
I bought them at Welcome to G-ONE AUTO Company
paid 300 € including shipping cost to Italy.
My Jazz is a Gd1 1.3
I use individual xenons only for low beam because now I don't need hi beam anymore!!

everybody should be aware that those do not fit on the NorthAmerican-Canadian spec Fits

sguardi molto piacevoli!

I agree! Sucks is that no one really knows if Depo is really making a set of projectors for us in North America...
But then, i hope they take their time with it and do a good job...

I didn't know that!
But I wouldn't be so sure....
Because looking at your headlights they really look like my previous one. And it's really strange that between the models of Fit and Jazz, sold all over the world, Honda has changed them... usually they try to lower costs!
I'll post a photo of them, so that you can check the differences....

From my knowledge, the usdm one are slightly different. i think i has to do with the mounting tabs on the headlight, not necessarily the headlight themselves. i'm sure the internals are the same.
i do know for sure you radiator support is different, thus causing a change in the headlight mounting.

there might be a way to take the depo internals and swap them out for the usdm mounting base. it could work, i'm just not positive on that one.

Radiator support is different, true.
But considering that headlight has only three bolts, I think it wouldn't be so difficult installing them....

headlight's sizes are different. European and Japanese spec Fits have shorter headlights. USDM's are a little bit longer.(maybe thats the word)

anyways, i asked time ago to AJ racing to sell me the headlights of a JDM Fit so I could fit them into my USDM. They told me i had to buy the JDM bumper, hood, and fenders just to make the headlights fit. No pun intented by them though, its proven that headlights wont fit unless you have the whole front end. Search it, its everywhere in these forums.

The JDM headlights won't fit (no pun intended) on our USDM Fit. You will have to do the whole JDM conversion. Trust me, I've done it. Here's the comparsion of the USDM (the two headlights on the left side) and the JDM headlights (right two). They were retrofitted BTW.

I was mistaken also, i thought it was just the mounting.

though, there may be a thread of hope, Depo might consider doing one for the us and cad fits if theres enough people to start, theres a thread in the Group Buy section that you look at.

i doubt it will happen anytime soon, but you never know!

I want projector headlights very badly but want them to be red like the rest of the car. You guys are doing some awesome retrofitting jobs, but I love my color matched lights.
