Does anyone have any comments on Depo P46 assemblies? They seem to get mixed reviews. If the ballast isn't attached to the light assembly, where do you put it?
I'd prefer not to pour a lot of money into this, which make the Deops an attractive option. But I don't want to waste money on something that is junk and having the ballast loose in the engine bay doesn't sound very good...
Thanks.
WARNING DO NOT ORDER FROM NEWPARTS!!! I received a UPS tracking number that has still not been picked up. I'm waiting for a reply to my email to cancel my order but will probably have to call my CC company and dispute the order.
Just ordered a Magneti for my drivers side- which is still the original ZKW. At some point my passenger side was replaced with an AL assembly. I did loads of reading and the Magneti is as close to the AL you can get anymore. I bought mine at NewParts for a lot less than FCP. Part number LUS4162 (left side).
