Try an importer. I may be cheaper for them to give them to you than to pay someone to take them away (not sure on that). I needed the adjustment screws as mine were stripped. I got mine from Japanoid. I took the whole JDM headlamp and salvaged it for what I needed.

Are there any other options other than DEPO lights for 1993+ L300s? My passenger side DEPO has been cracked since I got it. I would like to buy new lights but have a hard time spending money on DEPO lights on account of how terrible they are.

There is another company (forgot the name), but apparently the lights from them are even worse. Depo is still you best option unless you want to modify your front to accommodate pre '89 squared lights. They are way cheaper and easy to find in NA.

Jordan, my experience with Depo has been very good. What has happened to give you the impression that Depo are bad?

They aren't bright enough. Old square ones would be ideal, has the transplant been done before? They probably fit better than my depos and the bag of bees that accompany them.

You know you can change the bulbs out, eh? My bulbs are pretty bright without blinding the other guy, although I gotta say that I feel a little bad when I come up behind a Miata at a stop light and illuminate their cabin, but in the end ~ I have managed to deal with this with minimal counselling.

I haven't seen anyone doing it, but after looking at both, it is for sure not a straight fit. You would need to do some minor panel work and probably some custom brackets. Don't use more than a 50W bulb or you fry your wiring/headlight switch.
