I don't believe they are still available as new in the UK, secondhand ones turn up on ebay or VX forums now and again. German ebay have some for about £90.

If you manage to find Depo ones they come with a glass lens, i'm running Hid in mine and improve night time vision a lot!

You can still easily get brand new FK and Depo Angel eyes for the Mk3 Cav.
Yes - you have to get them from Germany.
And yes ebay is a good souce. But they are new - not second hand.

FK cost about £150.
Depo ones cost about £103.

I bought a pair of new Depo lights a couple of months ago.
They come with indicator units, orange indicator bulbs supplied loose.

The angel eyes themselves are pre-fitted with the small capless bulbs.
16 altogether
(4 per ring - 2 rings per lamp unit).
What you do not get is the H7 bulbs.
2 required for each lamp unit.
So 4 altogether.

They are simple plug and play. No faffing with relays or wiring looms.

As a legal stand point -
Regarding HID's.

These cannot legally used for road use when fitted to a Cavalier in the UK as it was never a factory option.
So for the annual MOT, you would need to revert to standard bulbs.

To save confusion - Angel Eyes are perfectly legal for road use when used with standard Tungsten Halogen bulbs.

I am sure that I read somewhere that certain Calibra models did have a factory option for HID's / Xenon bulbs and so slip under the net. I don't know how true that is though.

Again - my interpretation of the rules.

Vehicles should be fitted with automatic self levelling beams and have headlamp wash-wipe. And it should have been a factory fit option at the time of manufacture.

Also regarding HID and MOT's. Please ensure that any conversion looms (for ballasts etc). are fitted safely, securely and tidily. Although it is up to testers discretion - loose, improper or dangerous wiring is a reason for a fail sheet.

Okay - apologies for the side step... back to the topic.

hi there thanks for getting in contact like the look of the headlights you put on. have you still got the website you used, and do they do smoked ones i take it these ones are clear if you could give me the info be much appreciated many thanks colin

The lights all come with clear glass.

It is the interior that has two options.
Either chrome surround or black.

Mine are obviously the black ones.

Regarding website - I simply google

Vectra-A Depo headlights.

And voila - you should find plenty.


Just looked on AD Tuning in Germany and they no longer list for the Vectra-A.

Hmm - strange as I haven't had mine for long..


Even FK seem to have stopped doing them...
