Depo headlights?

**GTi** · November 26th, 2012 11:00 PM

Good day folks! I have been seeing many 1st gen Revo's sporting aftermarket multireflector Depo headlights as of late. Considering that the Revo is the only car in the garage left that still uses frosted headlights, and that its main lights are rather weak, I am considering installing these. Does anyone here have experience with this brand? If its good, where in the Banawe area is a good place to buy them?

Not on a Revo but we have tried the Depo headlamps on a Nissan Patrol and it works pretty well. Holds up pretty good also.

Also tried their taillamps on various vehicles already.

We get them from C3 Audio/Autospecs in Banawe.

Thanks for the quick reply, doc!

So this one doesn't have the tendency to darken/fog up quickly?

Not really. Seems to age at the same rate as the original plastic headlamps of the Jimny.

And we can always have the lamps refurbished by Jemson and the boys since their prices easily beat the prices of name brand detailing shops when it comes to refurbishing lamps. I even had them refurbish the plastic lens of the emergency light bar on top of the ambulance.

Looks new!

Nice! Around how much does a pair of headlights cost?

Around 4k ea? Sorry I can't really remember exactly. hehe.

Used Depo on my ES Civic before. Okay naman (just added some silicone before installing as added measure).

If your Revo has the glass headlights, i'd stick to these though since the glass lenses are becoming quite rare already nowadays. Palinis mo nalang ang upgrade your headlight wirings.

I see. I'd probably keep the glass headlights if I ever do change to Depo then.

About the silicone, did you have to do it yourself? Or did you just ask the installer to add it in?

i also have a depo headlight for my xtrail. almost 3 years na and still looks good. although i polish the clear lense once it looks a little hazy due to oxidation. always return to crystal clear brand new condition. as for the silicon, pwede DIY when you buy from ACE.
