    Question Depo Headlights Plastic Housing

    How’s it goin, I just joined the forums and I have a question regarding the depo headlights. (Little back story)I just recently purchased a 1998 e36 m3 and I decided to upgrade the worn and very foggy plastic head lights with Depos. Trying to save a little bit of money, I purchased a pair off of the app offerup. After attempting to install them, I realized that 2 of the mounting clips are broken and the clip on the side that Locks in the corner lights are also broken. The seller would not take them back and return my money, so I’m curious if any one knows where I can get the plastic housing for the headlights because the glass and lights themselves are in excellent condition. I tired doing research online but I can only find a whole new set of lights around 300$, and I would like that to be my last option.

    No way to buy the housings itself. You have to buy new headlights or learn to repair ABS plastic like I have for my DEPOs. ECS tuning has them for $200 or scratch and dents for $163.

    This is what I do to repair DEPOs with missing tabs. prep the area then epoxy putty and shape it to fit the turn signals
