Headlights Depo or OEM Audi

Depo headlights.

These new headlights look so much better than the old halogen headlights that come with the car. I have put 2 pictures of what it looked like before

Stick with DEPO

I went DEPO and they are still great after over a year.

I got the Depo sport headlights from Amazon. Fits great. I highly doubt the UV coating will last as long as OEM, but definitely a lot cheaper.

I just installed new Depo OE HID Replica headlights and fogs from ECS tuning on my ‘03 Jetta. Much better visibility with the new headlights I’d like to get everything working properly.

Picture 1 is Audis LED headlight, while the later is a standard Xenon/Halogen set up. The Xe/Ha is cheaper to maintain, but the lifespan is a fraction of the LED. The LED headlight lifespan is said to be years of constant use without issue(20,000+ hrs). The downside to LED is if something does go wrong with the headlight, you cant just replace the LED, you replace the whole unit($1,000+ USD if not under warranty)

Depo is terrible, buy old original lights and swap the projectors for new ones - preferably bixenon version. They will work 10x better compared to this depo trash.

Those are Depo headlights, so not OEM. The angel eyes on them are made up of a few individual bulbs in each ring, not sure if they're easy to remove/replace though.

I tried some Depo/Helix halogen projector headlights for my wife's 2.5 Jetta some years ago. The optics were terrible.
