an early self Bday gift
a pair of black depos!!!! i lub dem. not 100% sure how they'll look on my car but these things are brand new and beautiful. can anybody tell me what the yellow sticker means and what that one close up part is inside the housing?
the yellow sticker refers to the little lever inside the housing that aims the low-beam projector lense. The black thing looks like some kind of adjusting screw. Its been so long since i put mine in, i don't remember if they had one or not?

Nice man I put in the same ones after I smoked a deer back in October- They look great on my car; much better than I expected but my car is black.
The lever inside flips a step-like cut off in front of the bulb that changes the orientation of the step...You want it down for left hand drive (LHD). You'll see what I'm talkin bout when you play with the lever then see the beam when you aim the lights.
The close up of that black know isn't for aiming adjustments; the white plastic ***** are for that...unless its for a larger adjustment? Not sure there.
Also, the white bulb holders for the signal bulbs don't hold face lift bulbs. You need to use the stock ones and modify them to fit. They will but I had to go back and add some silicone sealant because you have to cut one of the tabs on the stock bulb holders to make it turn into the depo hole. Again, you'll see what I mean but def seal it up cause I got water in mine at first. or you could just use bulbs that fit the white ones..that'd be easier ha

So. Effing. Jealous. I've wanted these since I got my car lol; Where'd you pick them up and for how much? I've seen similar on eBay, but I've been advised to be leery of eBay headlights.
But nice snag, can't wait to see them on your car, I think they'll look great.
