Advice needed - Where should I buy a set of Depo headlights?
 
eBay (fishcake or redcomet), Umnitza, EAS, Stealth Auto, etc.

There seems to be a range in pricing and I'm not sure if one seller is better than another. Any advice?

Thanks...

Got mine from EAS, pretty much plug-n-play since I have Xenon stock.
The only re-wiring required was for the angel-eyes, you need to know some basic electronics to do it; would be good if you have someone local who's done it.

Forgot to add,
asked you heard them here and get internet pricing, I think it was around $20 dollar cheaper (not much but it's free money).

Try calling www.Umnitza.com. Their service and expertise are great. Price is also very competetive. Depo53 with HID is $550 vs $650 with EAS. Would not buy via Ebay. Nice to have a real person on the other line to help will ALL questions. "Tim" the manager is very helpful.

ALSO: allows for upgrading to the famous FX-R projector (less than $200 more)

Just ordered a pair with FX-R upgrade. Can't wait. Each headlight is custom retro-fitted for this upgrade.

Thanks for the link, I didn't know they were selling complete headlight kits, I thought they only sold angel eye kits, what is FX-R, the site wasn't clear about what it is?

Its UMNITZA's version of the Infiniti FX projectors.

Supposedly people say the depo projector is not as good as factory Hella. The FX-R is better that stock in regard to cut off and focusing all the light. Better output overall. Pair that with 50/55 watt ballast/bulb and I should get awesome results
