They're plug and play, but they're not xenons. They're just projectors with a regular bulb.

they use H7 bulbs for the projectors so they are halogen projectors.
If you put HIDs in them you will have light scatter and uneven lighting.

Not only that, the housing for those projectors are a very tight fit, with really crappy material. Your HID will burn the inside of the housing where it will fog up and melt.

The depo ones are fine for HID and no, nothing will melt, burn, or anything else. They work fine.

That's what ended up happening with the eBay lights on my MkIV. even the socket rubber piece ended up melting because the heat wasn't being dissipated.

were they made by Depo as well?

I know Depo isn't a top leading manufacturer, but they make fairly reliable stuff... I had a set of smoked Depo headlights on my Accord back in 06ish, they held up well.

OP, I say go for it, and throw in a 4300k or 6000k hid kit. Won't have the auto leveling, but hey, for the price...
