Listen a little bit of advise would be greatly apricated... thanks in advance!!!!!

On my 1999 318is coupe I have a 'Depo' Headlight on the passenger side (L)and a Bosch headlight with an angle eye on the drivers side. So there odd and they look bad that way.The 'Depo' headlight is 'e marked' and they really look fresh i want to get another of them. One of the lads told me that it probally wont pass an nct, i dont think this is the case with an e mark on it (E4 wrapped up in a circle). ?????

the part number i got of DEPO was 444-1110l and the letters HCR are stamped on is along with other digits around but i don't think it has anything to do with a parts number.I think i have located the company on the net there AKA 'Taiwan auto lamp'- I looked trough there product listing and couldn't get an exact matching for my headlamp.

I have asked them for an Irish dealer network but i'm still awaiting response. any body know anything about this brand? are they reliable, can you confirm they will pass the NCT and where can i get them???

Depo lamps are one of the best afm lamp manufacturer imo..

Most motor factors will be able to get them.

does the one headlight has a rings (position) and other doesnt????
if so the tester might make a problem of that as there wont be symmetry between them

if u want i got set of headlights
u can have them for 30e
or i can lend them to you for a bottle of beer :)

Thanks I have checked Somora site and located my local dealer, fair play on that one everyone. Good to hear they are a quality manufacture and are safe and legal by Irish standards.

Jeez 'Feelit' fairplay will it be fine for a 318is coupe? I'm not up on these headlights but aparently there not all the same. I'd be happy to pay you the 30 euro, u sure thats enough? and I;m sure I'd manage to add a beer to it !!!!

you would be better off getting them off feelit, a new unit would be at least 50e from a dealer.. ihad the same problem b4 with one bosh headlight and one from another brand..they were slightly different..really annoyed me to look at soo i got 2 of them for 40quid...sorted:D
