Supplement to the Review on 1addicts forum here: www.1addicts.co... Music was a last add since no sound seemed boring, if you don't like it theres a mute b
Looks good,the only i have personally is main beam doesn't have a projector like oem...depo Toby or something like that did a conversion depo to oem look...think il just have to do it and later on add a 2nd projector lol be better if depo or someone did it as standard though lol
Did you had DRL before you changed the headlights? Because my car doesn't and i'm wondering if the angel eyes will actually light up by themselves as DRL even if you're car doesn't have DRL by default
where did you get these headlights from? is it possible to change the LED for the angel eyes to something that gives it a better consistent look? The video you posted seems good but from the pictures in your photo album, it doesn't seem as white as I would like it
great looking headlights mate. were these as simple as plug and play or did they require further bits and bobs? also... how long have you had them on for and have they given you any problems?
Kenneth Prince Video was taken when i still had halogens, cutoff was horrible, HID cutoff was better but the stock depo projectors werent the best IMO, when i cracked them open it looked like they can easily be retrofitted with morimotos
Sold the car and headlights 5 years ago, However i can recommend them as a baseline for projector retrofits, i did not like the cutoff. I dont know if there are better options that came out within the last 5 years.
Good enough for the price, OEM were halogens reflectors not projectors on the 128i so i cannot compare to OEM projectors. when using with halogen bulbs, light output was very poor. however with HID kit it was much better, cutoff was acceptable with a slight upwards curvature at the extreme ends of the cutoff line.
Thank you for the wonderful response. Just got a depo headlight for my SUV. Hope the quality is as good as this. My biggest fears are water leaks and oxidation (yellowing). Do you have any issues with either of those?
can you make a video from a longer distance? with daytime running lights on and dimmed headlights?
They are black, the angel eyes are pretty consistent, but cracking them open it did look like you can change them

Do these headlights not have high beams?
how do you do the coding for any of these, I have a 2011 128i
Hey, just on qiuck question, are these the black or the grey depo v2???
great looking headlights mate. were these as simple as plug and play or did they require further bits and bobs? also... how long have you had them on for and have they given you any problems?
Complete plug and play, can reuse all stock bulbs too but I highly recommend getting a set of hid for the low beams, stock halogens are too dim
+DE31 ahh thanks! your car looks awesome by the way! have you experienced any problems with yours?
+jawadmohammed93 I did experience micro fractures on the lens after long term, but nothing noticeable until up close. doesn't affect performance.
No beam cutoff demo?

what are the bulb types for this (for ones on ebay that don't come with bulbs) are they usual h7's?? and what about the others??
Ben Chandler991 Reused stock bulbs, can use an HID kit that works with stock headlights
How did you get the "welcome" lights to come on when you unlock the car?
Fms818 Had them recoded to turn on angel eyes along with a few other features, 1addicts has a person doing them
What headlight model are these? are they depos with ccfl lights or led's. they look really nice.🖒
they were listed as depo v2 white led Angel eyes for halogen 1 series replacement
How do you like them now? Do they still run strong?

Great review!
Nice lights!
Looks good but how are the optics in comparison to oem?

+Pibbles 'n Bits I had neither
So these would work in my 2004 e46?
Did you use Carly to code it?
+André Almeida I did not have the proper cable or software to code myself, i found a coder on the forums so i cannot answer that question
Great!
How did you coding angel eyes as DRL?
I had a guy on 1addict forums code for me, I just coded parking lights as DLR if i remember correctly.
DE31 have you got still contact to this guy?
I do not
Nice headlight :-)
Camera work is awful. Dislike.
Shut up you bitch
Now they dont need to be coded
