you'll need bumper fog lights, facelift hood grille, side markers, rear lights. doors and mirrors are different too. the mirrors look exactly the same but they are infact different. i believe the depo 1 piece euro spec light has a different cut at the sidemarker on the silver part.

IIRC the Depos only come in E-Code style in which there is no orange reflector.

Yes, those are the same as the ones the US-Spec B5's come with.

I completely forgot that Depo use to make US-Spec OEM style headlights.

those actually look pretty nice. I wonder if people have problems with those ones fogging or anything or having a shitty beam pattern. I may have to do some searching on the forum to see if others have had any luck with those depo oem lights.
