The ring bulbs are a pain to replace in the stockers too. Is it worse in the Depos?

And once you replace with some quality bulbs, you don't have to worry about for a while.

here's a picture of what they look like. not too bad in my opinion.

cdgatti · 09-19-2015, 11:43 AM

why would someone do this to a BMW? Just get the civic you always wanted.

terryd5150 · 09-19-2015, 03:37 PM

I would tend to agree that the overall look of the car is somewhat Civic-ish; but, the headlights themselves are a definite improvement over the stock halogens.

Just when I finally thought I had a solution to my old style, scratched up lenses you tell me they don't work with Xenons..... Tease.

The mars website lists these as for pre-lci, but they should work with LCI too?

I don't see why they wouldn't work with LCI, given LCI halogens are plug and play into pre-LCI halogens.

Has anyone tried these out yet??

marketmaster · 11-13-2015, 09:01 AM

I really wonder if I could just transfer over all my modules from a xenon pre lci? I think it would work but the only question would be is mounting. Would be a complete hack but might be worth it.

Also would like to know if anyone has tried these

GSTiDDY · 11-17-2015, 12:16 AM

Any updates on these? I emailed them through eBay asking how much it would be to ship to NY. Also, read the eBay link on them. Are CCFL lights a good idea?

Looks like another seller has these for sale on eBay and I emailed to ask whether they could be used on xenon equipped e90's.

Link to said eBay auction...

Here's the response I just received:

Dear Customer:
Yes, it can fit on a E90 original equipped with Xenon, but after install our headlight, your Xenon equipment will become invalid.
Our headlight only support halogen bulbs, not support Xenon HID kit.
Thanks.

Unless I'm mistaken, you should be able to buy an aftermarket HID kit (ballasts/bulbs) instead of running halogens. My next main question would be on what kind of cutoff pattern these would have?? I had a set of depo's a few years back and the cutoff pattern looked super sloppy.

BollaM · 12-13-2015, 08:30 AM

What about LCI? Will these work for LCI halogen cars?

Most likely buying these off this seller instead of the ones from Australia

Anyone buy either or yet? Would like to hear some feedback on quality/ see some pics.

Yea I msg'd the seller and asked for $450 shipped and he cut it to $460. I think that BIN price is for people that don't do know much about the pricing or care about wasting money lol

Ruddigger · 01-04-2016, 12:45 AM

They just raised the price on their listings. Sellers will often do this when they run out of stock, and the drop it back when they get more.

tke344 · 01-06-2016, 01:34 PM

I'm thinking these would be good for a retrofit. Drop in some quality Morimoto projectors and you'd end up with a nice set of lights that perform well.
