I use GP Thunder 5800K Super Bright White H7 halogen bulb

I wrote to DEPO about the LCI headlights and the response is:

Hello Sir

This product is still not ready at the moment. As far as we know, it is expected in Q1 2019.

Best Regards
DEPO EUROPEAN TEAM

I will probably just order the pre-LCI ones.

Hey guys so I ended up buying the ebay ones I posted earlier and installed them already and they are amazing. The guy who helped me install them actually switched the low beams to led's as well and they look crazy good.

If you guys are interested at all I can take some pictures and post them if you would like. its 1000x better then the boring standard halogens I had before!

PLEASE post pictures. Not only close up, but some decent shots from a distance so we can see how they really look. Lights on and off. More the better lol.

I'm hesitant on the eBay lights for the same reasons voiced by others but at times I think they look good.

Cool! im at work right now but ill try and take some when I get home and hopefully some at night tonight as well from multiple angles, as long as Friday night doesn't get ahold of me first haha. But ya I didn't go with the depo lights because they dont have them for 2016 yet or at least from what i saw. So I went with the other ones I posted from CarID but I did buy them from Ebay because it was like 50 dollars cheaper and it shipped in like 3 days super quick!

And just to state again my low beams are LED's now which isnt standard on them they come with projector H7 halogens I think but you could swap those out easy for something brighter but honestly its changed the look of my car so much the running lights look mean as hell and driving around at night is the best now.

Here are a bunch of photos I took. With the running lights the low beans and hi beams at different angles. I will take more when its nighttime so you can see what they look like in the dark if you want any other angles or pictures I didn't think if let me know!

[erfont]

Any wiring or fitment issues installing pre-LCI depo projectors headlights on an LCI that has halogens?

[mallorca328]

I think i prefer the pre-lci angel eyes.

If you ask me, those minecraft turn signals ruin the car look imho

Well, I guess I will hold off until then. I got the car a year ago and was told by USR that the LCI headlights from DEPO would be out by July 2018.

I just would hate buy the pre-LCI ones and then a few months later the LCI ones come out.

It's been a few months, how are these so far? I have them in a box but idk if I want to install after the bad reviews I read...but they look great.

I love them! I've had no issues at all still working great for me. They are 1000 times better then my stock lights in my opinion.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick response. The low lights are halogens on them? I swear they said LED. Was it difficult to swap them out to LED?

[rahilxxi]

I have bought these as well. They look nice. And I got a good deal. I’m confused on which LED bulbs to buy. Do I need 1 set for the low beams and then 1 set for the DRLs? Did you need to buy any resistors ....? How about coding or CEL issues .... sorry for so many questions. I am new to modding and my halogens really bug me.

[rahilxxi]

I found this on amazon today. This customer seems to like them too... I think they look different. Unique. And the post LCI half halo U shape is a newer look if I’m not mistaken. They look nice on this persons car.

I’m still fuzzy on which bulbs to buy , and if I need any add-one like resistors. I’m planning on installing them on Monday. (4 days) and I will be uploading tons of pics and a review if I go through with the install.

Ya they were halogens. And I didn't do the swap part I had a friend help me with that. He said it was easier then when we tried to swap my stock lights to LED because the new headlights had way more space to fit the LED kit in it. He did have to add these little boxes that connected to my lights I assume those are resistors? And I did have to code my car to turn the cold monitoring sensors off but that was super easy and I did that myself.

Yes those look like mine! I love them and I'm pretty sure the guy helping me added resistors to them.

The guy helping me added resistors I'm pretty sure and the daytime running lights will be the led U bar by default. The low beams I would switch to LED like I did and I just left my high beams as they came because I don't use those much. I did code the lights to turn off the cold monitoring because the LED's kept tripping a malfunction when they were working at times. I also coded my lights to turn on when I hit unlock because with these headlights they wouldn't do that by default when I installed them and I liked that so now I have my drl's and fog lights come on when I unlock. Looks super cool at night. If you havnt coded before honestly its super easy I just used the Bimmercode app and bought the coding plug off Amazon. There's a lot you can do with coding.

I'm unsure what they are. Let me see if I can reach out to the guy who helped me and ask!

Thank you mate!! I'm doing the install on Monday. I'm going to order these resistors
