Depo Headlights? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

DEPO is one of the 20 largest companies in Taiwan. They are a highly respected manufacturer and they produce OEM housings for several big name auto manufacturers. Very quality construction and design.

DEPO is OEM quality FWIW

I believe TOM'S Tail lights are manufactured by Depo.

My BC tail lights are manufactured by Depo. I've had them installed for a few months now, and throughout the winter and all of the rain I haven't had any issues with them so far.

Definitely looking forward to hearing more information about these headlights!

I was at the auto show on Saturday and I was able to ask Kenny Chan for the BRZ keys and he turn on the lights for me. I can tell you those LED's are F**** Bright ass hell.

Well they'd be hard to notice during the day for sure, but lucky for us FR-S guys, we'll still have separate turn signals in the stock location which will be visible.

I don't know much about wiring, but you must be right. I didn't think about being able to keep the stock lights in addition to those in the headlight.

Yeah. So while the BRZ guys will have it easier in the sense that these headlights would be completely plug and play, for FR-S guys, Our will probably be plug and play, and then an additional splice from the turn signal wires.
Personally, if that's the way the FR-S owners have to install these headlights, I won't even splice the turn signals. I'll leave the turn signals inside the headlights unconnected.

Yeah, it would be kind of a pain for a redundant feature.

I apologize for bumping an older thread, but since I'm still interested in these and I presume that a few others might be to, I found this short video posted up on YouTube the other night -

It still seems as though there isn't much information circulation with regards to these headlights - the site that posted this video also didn't seem to have any information on them except for the (heinous) $800 price quote for them, lol.

BRZPDX · 08-06-2014, 03:05 AM

Any info on these yet?
