Hello all !!

I know these are far from being the best but for a quick fix as in 12 months , do you "know" if they will be ok ?
I just need something that will be safe and get me through the winter .

They seem okay, and can't see how they wouldn't work, but only one way to find out! Write up a review :thumb:

They look like generic Depo lights, I used a set for a year whilst I rebuilt my Bosch originals... they were fine.

they are depo lights,

ive got the smoked ones on my sport, some say they let water in so i put a bead of windscreen adhesive around the rim of the lens under the trim ring just in case,

a lot of folk use them with no problems at all,
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

they are missing the main level adjuster so you'll be needing x2 manual adjusters and remove the auto level adjust bracket .

this company makes good e30 aftermarket petrol tanks

What do you need exactly as my son removed his 86/87 headlights as they where non adjustable before he exported it to Germany?
