Default xA Depo Head Lamp ?

Does anyone has any experience with the Depo Headlamp? I am considering getting the black housing one but I am afraid it is a down grade from OEM.

Depo is not a down grade and have been around for a long time. they started by making replacement head/tail lights oem and moved into making aftermarket. I have owned 2 sets in the past with no probles. Just avoid things with led's and the colored rings they dont last but the overall headlight will

I got it installed, the light looks great but the beam pattern showed some hot spot. the light also has a very distinctive cut off line. anyway, I like how it looks and give more sporty look. P.S (it is lowered on Eibach Prokit and Koni shocks)

That looks nice. How much were they and where did you find them? Is the clear lens tinted?

Amazon or eBay sells it. I got mine off amazon because I have free 2 day shipping, i think i paid 170. The lense is clear but the lamp housing are black. The signal light becomes clear with yellow bulb. All bulbs are included

i got rid of my depo head lamps and went back with OEM... i didn't like the hot spot that came with the units and i had to adjust the hell out of them to get 'em perfect... when i installed my new OEM head lights i didn't even have to adjust them they came out perfect out of the box

btw i used the search to find this topic

I know this is an old post, but my headlights have been "restored" about 3 times now in the passed 3 years. They keep yellowing. I've been thinking of trying the Depo headlights since new OEM ones are like $500 now and harder to find.

JCT, did you run HID's in the depo headlights or regular bulbs?
