I saw that Ebay listing too but decided to get the T5 leds myself rather than buy that kit which is 20 euros more than buying the T5 separately!I asked that seller for the dimensions of the T5 bulbs but he just replied that they fit the Depos,but obviously not,so maybe you can open an Ebay case and get your money back!
I am still waiting for mine!
I am also waiting for my CCFL ,maybe get them today or Monday ,so if yu want to wait until I get them ,so I can tell you if theu are a perfect fit!
Raz,here says they are ,so they should be fine but I am not fitting them if I need to squeezed too much and risk breaking the CCFL lamp!
Have a look at my posts 21 and 26 here,so you know what I am talking about:)

Yeah im trying to figure out something with the seller. Please let me know when you install them so I can order the same ones if they fit right! Thanks a lot

Will do mate,as soon as I get them in.I have a spare Depo,so I try them on that.

Hope you get some kind of refund from the seller?Haven't seen any really bad feedback,only one buyer complaining that they are not as bright as in the pics of the EBay listing.

Do you happen to have the size of those T5s?Sometimes,we need to trim off a bit for a perfect fit but they should be 18.5 x 5 mm to fit the Depo harness.

Great thanks! And yeah i hope he offers a refund or i will open a case. Well they look different than the picture. I will take a picture and show you. My harness for my left headlight is useless now as some of the sockets broke trying to fit these bulbs. Do you know any place that sells these depo harness?

Sorry,been searching for those DEPO bulb holders myself but no luck so far!I wanted to drill extra holes and fit more lamps.
Maybe you can get an electrician to sort out yur harness and fit T5 holders that fit the Depos.
Let us know the size of the T5 leds that italian seller sent you?:thumbup:

I found this Ebay seller in Ireland that sells very similar T5 holders to Depo ,but he is a bit on the expensive side,Send him a message asking the size of the holder!The Depo size is 8.9mm diameter but any holder between 8.0mm and 8.9mm will fit.

Found these and I am getting them.they are 10mm diametre ,versus the Deps 8.9mm,so you will need to trim 1.1 mm .

Is there any that is a full harness? I want to replace the whole thing. Or if not I may just try the CCFL way. Thank you very much for the help!

Send me a pic of the damaged harness and how many lamp holders did you damage?

Well the harness is in the headlight already but probably half to most the holders on the left headlight harness. Did not touch the right one.
