DEPO projector90?

Ive been hearing rumors on this and other forums about depos p90's coming out within a month or so. As a halogen owner this is a very hopeful time for me. ive been considering a xenon upgrade for some time, but figure i'll wait for the P90's given how expensive they are.

i was wondering if any of the vendors here could provide any kind of information at all. perhaps some sort of teaser? i've tried contacting depo but havent heard anything. I'm surprised its taken this long considering how long the e90 has been out, how popular they are (dime a dozen in my town) and how hideous/crappy the stock halogens are.

thanks for any and all info


p.s.

Initially they will only be available for non-LCI E90s....I do not have any further details on availability of LCI P90 units at the moment.

Just a stock photo, we expect the final production units to look better than that.

Compare 1er Depo stock photo we got with the final version...you'll get a good idea.

Cal, is DEPO planning on making a Xenon version as well? It's frustrating to have Pre-LCI AHLs, because the Euro version of AHL are way too expensive. I basically just need a OEM-like housing with clear corners.

We are going to package these together with HIDs like the P82 and P46s we carry so they will be xenon.

These look like they're for a E92, not a E90.. Are these suppose to be for an E90?

The pics I posted above are for the E82 1 series... was just trying to give you guys an idea between stock photo and final product.

As for pricing, I got no information yet but I speculate them to be in the $3XX range/set.

They're for E90s, E92s don't need a halogen to xenon conversion, they came with xenons standard.

Cal, one more question. Since I already have AHL xenons and I'm basically just going for the Euro/clear look, will I be able to just swap my ballasts, bulbs, etc. into the DEPO housing? Will DEPO make an adaptive headlight as well?

These will not be compatible with the OE xenons without modification to the housing. They use a different bulb type.
