Tom, I was looking at your order page and was curious as to what the Lighting Option meant? Is it referencing the low-beams? I assume the Bulb Color option above it indicates the color of supplied HID bulbs being that no conversion kit is needed for a stock HID vehicle?

Exactly, so the temperature (which is measured in Kelvin), will directly measure what color the light is coming from the low beams... Use this guide below to choose which ones you like:



Send me a PM if you have any other questions.

The Angel Eyes have their own harness, triggered by 12V for the "always on" feature as well as a remote feature to fade in/out when the doors are lock or unlocked.

Tom,
These look excellent (except for A/E's are just a tad too blue for mine). Why only offered in 7500k ?? What if a buyer wanted some a little less blueish ??
I presume no biggy if only equipped with halogen at present = have to purchase ballasts as well.

My $6 million Q is; do they also come suited for RH drive vehicles ??

Good to see multiple positive comments from the forum members obviously a good product.

Just so you know there is a little arm inside each headlight that you switch for LH/RH vehicles.

Orion V1 was quickly buried as soon as other companies began selling them in their original packaging (relabeled MYCARR product). The "Orion V2s" were all over at the ampa show in China last May in various booths for sale.

Now we have the option of having them already integrated within the stock DEPO housings - at no additional charge.
DEPO=taiwan cheap stuff....
So what the diff from Taiwan and China Products Manufacturer ?
they all same sh1t to me.

OEM will always be best, but DEPO is a very good buy for the money and much better than the junk that Umnitza was selling some time ago (Sonic brand).

Halogen to Depo HID conversion

Hey Tom, I have already started an HID retrofit project to change my halogens to HID. Originally, I was sourcing used OEM housings, but have ended up with several broken units and am ready to abandon the project. Here's my question knowing that I have the H7 to DS2 HID conversion kit already including bulbs and ballasts. Can I buy the depo housing without having had HIDs in the past? (specifically wondering how I would operate the autolevel function. your time and input is valued!

Sure, the DEPOs accept a D2S bulb so simply use the HID kit you have currently to adapt to the new headlamps.
