Installed the depo lights this evening and they fit perfect. Took me maybe 15 minutes total, warning the stock wire harness is short, but wasn't that difficult to install.

European Type R part numbers. Also saw installation instructions for TONS of carbon fiber accessories!! Mirror covers, door sills, rear diffuser area, internal door trim, etc...!

Thank you so much. This is what I've been waiting for. Are they for sale anywhere yet?

Just installed the DEPO smoked sides on mine as well. I don't know about anyone else, but it was a gigantic pain for mine. The connector wire was so short it didn't even make it past the hole that the connector sits in. I saw videos online that showed them turning the light outside the socket for it, and that is most certainly not possible with mine. I thought I was going to lose the wire a few times. On the drivers side I actually had to install the side marker, then connect the connector with my hand behind the plastic otherwise it wouldn't reach. Plastic is now bent a little, hopefully it goes back into form...

I was hoping it would take 2 seconds like most people reported, but definitely not the case with mine.

Very short! For me, the easiest way was to start with the marker flush with the bumper. Put it really close, so the connectors are close together. Started turning the front hook in while snapping the connectors together. I used my fender hand to snap the connectors together while my free hand was working the lens into place. Once connected, push the back side marker in, so it snaps in place. Worked for me, but no doubt the wire is extremely short!

Clear DEPO side marker install.

Twenty minutes of YouTube tutorials.
Twenty minutes of actual install time.
Yes, the wiring for the Type R is cumbersome to deal with. Very little slack to work with but nothing too difficult. The driver side wiring seemed shorter and had the potential of recessing into the car but not dropping into anything.

I like it.
