I ended up cleaning my oem Hella headlights with sylvania restoration kit and they actually look almost like new.
I replaced the hid bulbs and put Leds in high beams.
I'm curious to test them at night and see how they perform now.

Awesome work, that's what I do all the time. I found a few xenon headlights with bad lighting, because the chrome reflector on the interior of projector had burned away, so only way to solve is to wrap it with chrome mirror HT vynil.
Ooops, sorry, for sending you the wrong link. The seller also has the xenon version which is all the same as the H7 halogen, except the bulb fixing. You will obviously need
to use your existing d2S bulbs.

Hope you headlights are great after all that work. Take care

Huge difference to what they were before.
My low beam is still pretty bad, I'd say only shines like 15-20 feet, which is nothing. I tried adjusting them, and I can see the projector moving left and right, or up and down when I turn the adjuster, however the light doesn't really change.
The high beams with LEDs are at least are pretty good!

Maybe ill still consider buying depo lights...do you have the link for the xenon version? I can't seem to find it

Hi,
Actually ,I have the link from where I bought mine 9 years or sob ago and still buy from.
They have Depos at 299,95 euros ..Think mine cost me 260.00 back then ,so way cheaper than the overpriced prices on Amazon Canada ..

Thanks for the link! This looks just like what I need.
Unfortunately they don't deliver to Canada, or even USA...
