Depo would probably improve on the design. Me and a lot of fellow Optima owners have burnt headlight bowls.
Owner reviews for headlights
Loving the Bosch headlights!
I would get some Hella or Bosch smilies and order the euro connectors and wires, then splice into the harness. More expensive but well worth having the genuine lights.
I got all my lenses from Rock Auto. They look great and the tyc headlights came with new bulbs.
I have DJ Auto Headlights (basically the best Hella replicas) that were modified by Umnitza with Bi-Xenon Projectors, Orion LED Halos and Canbus error free ballasts (for cars with Halogen low beams from Factory).
SO so so much happier with these headlights after manually leveling them!
The speed at which the lights turn will vary from slowest to quickest. Switch from Eco to Race and you'll easily notice a difference. I keep my lights in race; I've enjoyed how they change directions almost instantly with my steering input to better light the road ahead.
DEPO is about the best you could get as far as aftermarket goes. everything else are about a few tiers off as light output concern. but then compare to OEM it's still not as good.
Did I mention that I just bought a Chevy Colorado...with reflector headlight housings...lol. Literally had my first spat of extensive overnight driving this past weekend, and I could not believe how terrible the headlights were. Driving through Tennessee at night was nerve racking. Glad to see that I'm not nuts......
So it looks like VW has stripped away a lot from their 2017 models, mainly the Beetle and Jetta. The GLI is down to one trim and no options again. They even removed the Bi-Xenon headlights.
