Reviews of Depo headlights

Fit and finnish pretty good, the HID base reflector and the H7 base reflector are made out of metal. Also the shutter is made also of metal, something treated against corosion. The bi-xenon solenoid has no overheating signs in almost 2 years of use.

Quality was really good for the HID part, the high beam H7 reflector has a really weird upward angle that i have found really hard to correct thru the adjustment screw.

Depo would probably improve on the design. Me and a lot of fellow Optima owners have burnt headlight bowls.

fitment is shit just stay stock.

I never had an issue with my depo vento e-codes.

There's nothing wrong with the Depo smoked Vento e-codes. You just have to put a bead of black silicone around the edges where the glass meets the plastic housing for preventative watertight measures and they're fine.

I have the smoked DEPO's. I love them so far. The H1 output isn't great but I plan to upgrade to LED's or HID sometime. I do recommend getting LAMIN-X to protect the lenses from pitting and put an additional bit of clear silicone sealant around the edge of the lens. DEPO's used to have an issue with leaking. I found a suspect spot on mine so I added additional sealant to ensure no leaks. No problem after 1 year.

DEPO are absolutely fine; they're not an OEM manufacturer for BMW, but they are for plenty of other brands so you shouldn't have the same concerns as you would with aftermarket rubbish. I've pulled them off scrapyard E30s before and they've been in better condition than the original stuff.

I'm happy with the quality, was a lot less than Hellas, been using them for 4 years with no issue, protected the lenses with film as they are glass, also fitted with HIDs

3 years with DEPO smileys. Euro spec H1. no fogging/condensation. The wiring at the back of the cap started to come undone but I hit it with a blob of hot glue and it was fine. Switched from H1 to LED bulbs, works great.
