Headlights Depo or OEM Audi
DEPO is pretty much the most popular aftermarket brands. Kinda pricey, but I’ve had mine on my car for 2 years, and I have no idea how long they had been on before then. I cracked one of the covers and was able to order a replacement for less than $50.
Definitely Depo. Well known brand, they fit perfectly and are made for cars equipped with the halogens standard. They also look exactly like OEM.
I bought a used pair of almost new Depo 9-3 2003-2008 headlights, nice beam pattern and performance.
I'm happy with my Depo ones, but have only had them installed for like 4 or 5 months.
Depo at $140 each are excellent quality for the money!
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.
Depo would probably improve on the design. Me and a lot of fellow Optima owners have burnt headlight bowls.
i have the 2 peice depo's that look like 1 piece and the quality id fair considering the price. they didn't align perfectly, but i think i'm the only one that notices. No bouncing or anything like that.
See.. Depo light suck serious donkey d!@#.... Here is a pic of the cracking I was talking about. This only took about a year to show up. Notice how there's even 3M chip protecting film over the covers. Complete garbage.
I replaced my OEM headlights a few years ago with DEPOs (absolute crap) lights after an accident and the insurance wouldn't pay for OEMs. After a few years of degrading visibility (spiderweb cracks throughout the plastic covers/lenses and crappy reflectors to begin with) I'm tired of not being able to see at night. * NOTE * NEVER BUY DEPO LIGHTS guys.
