It sure seems like it. I may not have been the first but we are buying them fast as hell after I did mine.

But honestly if you're going to tear apart a headlight and retro fit projectors... might as well do it to your stocks or somebody else's stock tack offs. Lord knows there will be lots of stock headlights around.

Awesome DEPOs. Somebody should tell ebayer why he's selling so many sets.

Once installed, do you have to re-aim the headlamps at all? I read of someone having to do so because it was pointed too high or too low.

You should check with Gas Man. Looks like he is the expert doing the head light swaps.

Any time a composite headlight is changed / replaced, it's prudent to check alignment.

Besides any adjustment is a 10 - 15 minutes deal.. Then you know your lights are not blinding on-coming traffic............

Exactly.... it's a single allen key adjustment. I've readjusted mine at least twice.
