Black Headlight Update...

Has anyone ordered an installed the black headlights that have been available on ebay for a few days now? Just thinking about buying them, and was looking for some feedback on quality. Thanks.

A couple people have recently purchased them from this forum. I guess the guy raised his price and if you say you are from this forum, he'll discount you? Not sure if its accurate, but thats what I read...I THINK.

Anyhow, Im waiting for them to install and post pics as well.

I'm still waiting for mine. He e-mailed me yesterday(Monday) and told me he would e-mail me when they shipped. Three days after I paid and still nothing. Guess he's in no hurry to ship his stuff. As for the discount, I believe it was $210. I paid $219 without it. But I guess $9 is $9.

Got mine today. Didn't put them on yet because of the weather. I took a picture of one (still shrink wrapped) and it's in my MODS gallery. They seem nice though. I might try to put them in Weds. night. They also came with all the bulbs.

Those look Good!
I can't wait to see them on your truck as I've got the same rig only all DSG, but also with the black billet grill. Post install pics are a must see!!!

Looks very stealth! Awsome on the black truck. I'll be doing this as well but am going to do it myself rather than purchasing them, its a simple job.

Steve...where did you get your blacked out front grille on the black truck with the blacked out headlights?

Oh and the reason why im decided on doing it myself is that Depo is an aftermarket headlight manufacturere. They make manytypes and styles but one thing they do NOT do is put any research into the light output area. Their optics in reflector design is very poor and it will decrease your beam pattern and it will be worse than stock. By painting them yourself, you maintain the OEM beam pattern and have the black look.
I deal with lighting (hidplanet.com) and will be retrofitting HID projectors in the housings soon (I just picked up my new truck today) but they will also be blacked out to match the truck. I know alot about Depo because we have done ALOT of research on their products.
