tried splitting it with a heatgun and screwdriver, almost got the lens off when it split down the middle

bought another set, cut the plastic back off and made 1 set out of 2, easy enough if you can find a cheap set of lights, mine cost a fiver for one set, and 8.99 for the others

as said, depo is the manufacturer of the headlight.

smoked headlights are not depos.

smoked depos are smoked headlights made by depo.

you can get normal clear headlights made by depo, they're just a pattern part of the original valeo's.
