The quality is exactly on par with OEM too for the actual feel of it when you open it up it's like an alloy feeling heavy duty material like the OE before it went plastic
It’s very close to oem quality. And if you compare it to a set a headlights the have been on the car, they are very durable. I’ve opened up and worked on these headlights countless times before installs. Never had a tab or anything break.
More great content! Love these headlights and their functionality. Agree that Depo makes good aftermarket lights.
Haha found this video after I sent you a pm. Saved my life lmfao
I bought a used set of these and it didn't come with the harness.
Does anyone know where I can get it or the diagram/parts list to make one?
So technically you can do this with any vehicle?
Where can I find the wiring harnas i can’t find them 😢
Your kit didn’t come with a harness?
No
So I’m completely at a loss with my depo headlights. My LEDs look like a regular halogen color and not the bright white as I thought they would? I wasn’t supplied a harness with my headlights or instruction what so ever. Any ideas?
Message my Instagram with photos. I’ll see how I can help. Tenza_motorsports
Hey man so I just installed my depo halo’s today and they look great but one question. How do I put my led high and low beam bulbs that was in my last headlights in those instead of keeping the ones that with them in? Thanks.
Just remove them from your old headlights and install into the new ones. They should be the exact same.
Is there a way to power the halos from the park lights so I could turn all the front light of from the LCM while the engine is still running?
Yes. You just have to find the signal wire to do it. It might be in the fuse box. I’m not sure where it would be located
How to make it auto dims when parking light or low beams are on? (Like on modern BMWs)
Those red cables you had already ran, did you buy them separately or they came with headlights? Also when splicing to the foot lights the headlight cable goes only on the positive bmw cable right?
Did you find out a solution? Having the same issue
They sell one for Xeon headlights that’s what I bought. For mine
You have a link I can't find it
@Tenzamotorsports Did you make the wiring harness yourself or did you buy it?
You said that we can wire it to the fog lights too, can you please tell me how?
Put the constant power to constant. Ground to ground. Then the signal wire to the fog like positive. Wires never even have to leave the engine bay.
Heyo, I was wondering if I need to buy a certain type of bulbs for these headlights. (This is my first time doing my headlights)
I believe they are just a h7. The depo set comes with good bulbs and don’t need to be swapped out unless you’re wanting to do led or something.
Great vid man. I’m a bit confused about what hardware exactly you used to connect the wires to the fuse box. Did you just use regular fuse taps? Like ones from AutoZone?
Is there any specific suggestion on where to put the red wire in that fuse box to make the halos on when the key is at "ON" position not "ACC"?
I'm not expert in using voltmeter btw it's always confusing
Just try until you find one. It won’t hurt it to go from slot to slot, testing them.
i cant find those headlights couse they are out of stock.. do u know where i can find again?
What year body style and year is your car?

The rubber grommet in the firewall do I have to removed the carpet in order to get that wire or does it lead into the glove box? Thanks!
Normally the grommet is just above the carpet. Remove the bottom part of the glove box to see it better.
@@TenzaMotorsports also what fuses did you go between? I don’t have a voltmeter and will probably just put it where you put yours. And does amps matter or just make sure it’s 12 volts?
I no longer have the car. The owner picked it up about a month ago. You’ll probably need to get a volt meter.
the last link *coupe only* fits the 2006 e46 m3 right? wanna make sure before i buy.
The m3 never went through a face lift. So you’ll need the second link.
What’s up ? I got a 325i 2002 and I have depo e46 HL angel eyes h7. I connected positive and negative and connected the angel eyes positive and negative but for some reason they don’t power on. Any ideas or suggestions.
Show me on Instagram?
Where did u get the led turn signals from?
Depo. I think Amazon
How do I get the daytime running lights to turn off when running angel eyes
That’s actually coding in the computer. Someone who tunes might be able to help. I know the dealership can change it. But it’s gunna be $75or more
did you remove your siren? When you locked and unlocked the car it usally beeps but yours didnt?
You know, most the bmws I’ve owned do have a lock beep. Out of probably 16 bmws only 1 has done it. It was my 5 series. I’m not sure what exactly the reason. My wife’s 2014 3 series doesn’t make noise, but my parents 2014 x3 does. Not sure! But I did not remove it.
They only chime when the factory alarm is installed. It's simply keyless entry otherwise. My E46 and F30 don't chime during lock/unlock but my F25 does. BMW is goofy like that.
Mine have been installed for 4 years, but the halos completely don't work now. Any ideas of what is going on? Lights work otherwise.
Hey Brother, i bought these with the for my 2002 m3. I have questions on
1. Whether to use the existing original ballasts or are ballasts are obsolete?
(The kit i bought were for xenon)
2. the ballasts are wired to the igniter for the original headlights and the DEPO does not have an igniter that matches the configuration.
3. the wiring harness that you show we only get to see you hook One out of Five ends of wire. we dont get to see you connect anything..... but the power constant.
Can you please help me or us with more? I wouldn't ask if i thought you couldn't do it.
As always big fan!!!
I’ve never had to look into the plugs beyond just plugging them in. And I’ve never pulled. Xenon’s to swap to depo. So I really don’t know what compatibility issues would exist.
aaaawwwwweee
Hi there is a yellow and black cable on the lights with a plug at the end wandering what is it for
The back of the LEDs?
Hey man, i did the same thing as you with the wiring. I connected one to the footwell light and the other on fuse 13 (empty slot cabrio only) everything works fine except when i set de lightswitch to “auto” the angel eyes, radio and the cluster lights keep running while the key already out the contact… so everytime i have to set the switch to the “0” stand to put everything off.. you know maybe why this happens?
Sounds like you’re back feeding the power? I’m not sure why it would do that unless the relay in the harness isn’t working properly
The odd thing is, that it happens only when te lightswitch is on “auto” so it means still have power even if the key is removed. Also the clusterlights and the radio
But i also connected the angel eyes on the “parking lights” so they turn on when the lightswitch is on parking lights also even if the key is not in
Electrical can be easy and complicated at the same unfortunately! You’re best bet is to try to wire the power slightly different. Maybe try swapping the wires and see what happens
Wich fuse did you use? Sorry for my English is not perfect
Anyone have idead where to buy them nowadays? They dont have them on amazon anymore
eBay.
Where are you located ? Shop
I ordered these recently. I did NOT order the marker lights. Will my factory corners work with these? Thanks!
Yes they do. They are an oem replacement.

Yeaaaa.. I get my right and left and driver and passenger sides mixed up when I’m facing the car, under the hood, on camera, with no script sometimes lol.
@@TenzaMotorsports tryna do what the previous owner messed up is always a pain in the ass
How do you know witch wire is for interior and ingnition
One should click the relay when turned on and the other one will be silent. The click is ignition and silent is interior lights
@@TenzaMotorsports also I have a 325ci 2002 e46 is everything the same?
So In order to have the rings work when you hit unlock or lock, where did you put that red wire? You lost me when you explained that with the fuse box
I ran 1 wire to the interior footwell light on the passenger side and the other wire that runs the relay to the fuse box.
@@TenzaMotorsports ok thank you I will give it a try.
I have those led corner lights but they stopped working
Both stopped?
@@TenzaMotorsports the left side stopped but I connected the angel lights to the corner lights until I order new led lights

Hei ,nr fuze ?
I’m pretty sure the wire harness had a built in fuse.
To much token
