Your lights look good, the beam pattern is slightly off on the one headlight and I think on the right one you need to stick a screw driver in and push the shield slightly forward maybe less then 1mm and it will even out the color.

If you have reddish orange color from up close you will get nice blue purple in the distance and if its blue from up close the color dissapears in the distance and you end up with fuzzy cutoff..

Nice car... it's fun taking dashboards out, isn't it!? Have you got it back in yet?
Why not take the opportunity to swap out all of that dirty cream interior? My Vectra used to have a cream interior that I spent a whole weekend trying to clean... I gave up and found some nice dark coloured Sri trim instead.

Well... the thing about DEPO lights is that they aren't as good as HELLA. Good luck with them next year. I'd prefer to buy Hella after regeneration, already painted on black. You'd get it for the same cash since you don't have xenon and they'd give much better light than crappy DEPO.

Well, drying is not quite enough. I found a hole, so I'll have to do a bit of welding as well.
 ;) And I have found a used cheap CO2.

The interior will stay gray. And I have found a set of gray cows that fits right in  ;)

Yes, HELLA lights are better than DEPO lights. But at the time of purchase, HELLA lights could only be found at a price three times the price of DEPO lights.
