I ran Depos on a 97 M3 for a while, much better than the condition of the headlights when I bought the car, middle of the road for me and I have horrible night vision.

Pros: much better condition
Cons: middle of the road

Pros: no leaks at all

DEPOs are absolute trash. I've had them literally crumble while sitting on my kitchen table... Like tabs started flying around...

Cons: absolute trash, crumble

Depo Headlights

I admit they do "look" good because they are brand new, but they are the biggest pile of excrement this side of the equator! My headlights for that wagon, while the beams are near perfectly aimed (yes i did that) i about have a brain aneurysm Everytime I see them in the front of the wagon, specially if I get locked or fixated.

Pros: look good when new
Cons: poor quality, poor performance
