Depo housing help! ( fog lights )
Hey guys! Been doing a lot of night time driving lately, and want to give my Depo housings a bit of a kick in the butt with how they work.
I've seen threads previously about the housings. I love them, they look great, and put out ENOUGH light with halogen bulbs. But due to my recent increase in night time driving, and with the amount of wildlife in my area, I was hoping to get some more info on retrofitting better (HID) projectors into them.
My main concern is that people said you will burn out the projectors with an HID kit due to them being made for halogen bulbs. This is where things got a bit confusing for me.
Does anyone have any write ups, or videos on swapping new projectors into these housings? I've been told you just unscrew the old ones, replace with new ones, and make a bracket, but without having anything to go off of, it seems to be a bit of a hassle to do.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

Its all in that other thread already, im not typing all that again.
The projector does both the low and the high beam with a magnetically controlled shield. The other highbeam bulb in the depo lights is useless. Its just cosmetic at that point. But i did explain how to wire them as well as adapters linked in that other thread.

Buy housings, projectors, and adapter plates.
Flip housing
take off bulb access
take 4 screws holding halogen projector in.
Take out halogen projector
Bolt adapter plate to hid projector
Stick hid projector into
put screws back.
Done!
Literally just 4 screws as long as its depo projectors.
