I'm normally a certified hater when it comes to non-OEM lighting, but the Depos are really nice.
Put these in today and I can’t believe how much the headlights change the look of the car.
I have depo headlights and taillights they have never failed and the quality is great
I’d stick to OEM or DEPO. OEM is best but also most expensive, DEPO is good for the money, they will last and fit well.
I had a 2014 ST1 and I got a pair of those Eagle Eye headlights from ebay for $300. Ran them for over 100K miles before I sold it. The LED's never burned out and the only water ingress issue I had was because I baked and separated the housing to black out the reflectors and screwed up the plastic so it didn't seal right again after that. I will say they got foggy after like 4-5 years but I just sanded and re-cleared them and they were good as new again
I’ve installed the depo set on my F30 before, it will changed the look of the car completely no doubt, Bmw is iconic for their angel eyes and if you’ve got the used f30 with halogen, its the worst. I didnt go my research enough and got too excited with my first F30 so got the one with stock halogen.
But honestly the depo ones was only like 70% close, been with F30 for a while i can definitely tell if one was depo or oem with a quick glance. Plus the housing of the headlight trying to convert them to Bi-xenon look, they make it less bright, which is not really safe driving at night time.
Afaik Depo is the only manufacture that is making knockoffs of the real deal.
I've had 2 sets of Depots. Both developed micro-cracks/crazing, in about a year.
I had a pair of depo headlights, maybe the same ones there. They started with good light output and relatively quickly degraded on the low beam with the projector. I got a chance to drive that car again and they are pretty terrible now, warning.
I had depo headlights on my last car. If you drive outside the city at night much then it's not much of an issue but the light output and pattern really leaves something to be desired, even with the xenon.
