So I didn't want to do the normal DDM route & thought I'd retro a real HID projector into a Depo housing on my Tahoe. I'll post up a full how to when I'm done...for now...

Here is my collection of goodies...
1x Pair: Lexus RX-AFS/TSX-R low beam projectors
1x Pair: Clear optic lenses
1x Pair: New Matsus h i ta Gen IV ballasts w/ brackets
1x Pair: Morimoto 3Five 5000K D2S bulbs
1x Pc: 9006 relay wire harness

Looks great. You'll love the end results.

All excellent parts, high-quality. Where'd you get it?

It didn't fit easy...I'll have a fully detailed write soon...craploads of pics. The optics on the Lexus projector are nearly the same diameter as the Depo projector but getting the trimming perfect to get the Lexus one in was tricky & time consuming. So far I'm happy with the results.

I got everything from Matt @ retrofitsource.com...

Yup...Matt is a good guy to do business with. I liked how your retro turned out so I just had to find a good projector to fit in the Depo...I can't wait to see the light output on these.
