They are pretty hard to get hold of now apparently. Think I might give this a go as my Depos are pretty fucked up now.

the original vauxhall ones are damn hard to split, you need stardard replacement Depo ones to split open and paint

trust me, doing vauxhall ones are hit and miss, some split, some just crack the lense or melt the plastic housings.
its so much easier to do with the replacement Depo's like what you did
