Headlights Depo or OEM Audi

Depo Headlights

I’ve finally pulled the trigger on getting the original US Sealed Beam headlights swapped out for some new Euro/WW Composite glass-lens units. The install was super smooth and straightforward. I found a pair of new DEPO headlights on eBay. The new DEPOs came with a janky headlight wiring adapter but, I opted for a OEM-quality install with 2 new 6-pin headlight connectors. The headlights have full functionality including the W3W City Lights which I soldered in.

Pros: smooth install, full functionality
Cons: janky wiring adapter

Depo Headlights

Other than needing some beam adjustment out of the box and not quite as good of fit & finish vs oem, they seem decent for the price.

Pros: decent for the price
Cons: needs beam adjustment, not OEM fit/finish

I thought the headlight gap was normal. I have glass depos and they have the same gap. The original plastic headlights had the same gap as well.

Pros: gap is normal
Cons: headlight gap

OEM Audi Headlights

I bought expensive Audi headlights on AliExpress. However when parcel arrived UK I had to pay additional £107 for import duty - so looks like seller Dint lower item price down. Second issue is I took car to the garage in order to replace headlights. Garage replaced them, but issued me the report. That headlights is bringing two errors to the dash board: Right hand side day time running light and left hand side day time running light. Plus second report that light pattern is for left hand drive and it's a critical issue and MOT failure. So seems to me that seller send me the wrong lights.

Pros: expensive headlights
Cons: wrong lights, errors on dashboard
Vehicle: Audi

I just installed depo and had a similar issues. Ended up having to test each pin in the connector individually to match everything up properly. The diagrams online and even that came with the kit are all wrong for some reason.

Cons: incorrect wiring diagrams, difficult installation
