Need Help installing DEPOs
I've searched the board, but mine see to be different. I didn't see any threads that had wiring like this. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Tony

Are those xenon or non-xenon lights?

Fitted a few Depos now and never seen that wiring!
They seem to be to connect the AEs to another electrical circuit rather than the sidelights.Do you have the side light plug on the Depos?
Can you not ask the place you bought them?..

Thanks!
Bought them from Ebay. There is a connector for the side light. I just plugged them in to the turn signal to see them work, and of course, they work, but blink with the turn signals.

I'm debating now if I want to connect to the ECU on run inside to the LCM.

The Depos here have the AEs connecting to the side light plug...simple!
The only disadvantage is, this way ,they dont function as DRLs but you can always turn on your sidelights/AEs in daytime ,if you wish ..so no big deal..

Hey Powers1,
Any idea how to make this gap fit better? I've tried adjusting the 4 srcews and can't get it to fit. It fits perfectly on the outside by the turn signal though.

Can you post a farther way pic,so I can see the complete headlight,please!
If you adjusted all 4 screws and still not sufficient,you can try and widen a bit ,the plastic holes where the screws fit
