i got this headlights and installed them, only problem i have is with the passenger side headlight. how the heck can i make it fit correctly????? the way it is right now, its kinda popping out a little. the back of it hits with my Intake hose which causes it to shake. i have after market intake hose from neuspeed. i read somewhere that there was some cutting to be made, but i cant recall where i read that. this are Projector headlight with HID. any help would be appreciated

 

looks like you have the 2001 model so no cutting involved for you... the depo headlights should be exactly the same as the stock ones that you had on the car before. for people with the two piece headlights, there is a step where they have to trim their fenders for the lights to fit.

 

they should fit right in, but nope. driver side fits perfectly. passenger side is the one that just cant seem to fit, it pops out of the fender and hood. it doesn't blend in well, like the stock ones.

 

The OP is referring to the back of the headlight housing hitting his intake and thus not allowing enough clearance for the whole headlight to sit in flush. This is a very common issue with people going big turbo and having a hard time figuring out an intake setup, especially in top mount manifolds.

Ocielz, please take a picture of the problem and you'll get some ideas. Also, can you fit the rear cover from your stock headlight on the new one, that may have a slightly smaller profile.

 

ummm the stock headlight are long gone : ( sold those off long time ago. the intake hose problem i fixed with some wires that i tied together. heres some picks of how it looks.

 

heres a pic. of the back cover high beam

 

A lot of people have this problem. Make it fit to the best of your abilities and be done with it. Unless you have a show car, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. The only way someone is going to notice is if you point it out to them.

 

i guess your right : ( i cut where the 2 screws go on top and made it fit as much as possible, there is only a slight shakiness to it, not that much.

 

My car is the same way. Don't worry about it!
