Headlights Depo or OEM Honda

I ordered a Depo drivers side unit. It came yesterday and I installed it today. Quality and fit and very good. The bulb out warning light on the dash eventually went out.

I’ve been running depos for like 1.5 -2 months now. They’ve been holding up great. Love them.

This is good to hear. While anything will be better than my 11 year old hazy Honda Fit headlights, the brighter LED’s will really help on our dark, rural, hilly roads.

Get something OEM-equivalent, DEPO black housing headlights are a popular option. Most brands should be similar enough if you stick to OEM-style, but DEPO is the only brand I personally have experience with.

Oem is the best option, you can find deals on eBay or online sometimes, second best is depo aftermarket brand replacement headlights, not as good quality but the price is right.

I have the smoked DEPO's. I love them so far. The H1 output isn't great but I plan to upgrade to LED's or HID sometime. I do recommend getting LAMIN-X to protect the lenses from pitting and put an additional bit of clear silicone sealant around the edge of the lens. DEPO's used to have an issue with leaking. I found a suspect spot on mine so I added additional sealant to ensure no leaks. No problem after 1 year.

DEPO is about the best you could get as far as aftermarket goes. everything else are about a few tiers off as light output concern. but then compare to OEM it's still not as good.

Depo’s aren’t a quality product. That’s why a pair cost less than 1 oem 06+ light. You’d have to more than likely reseal it to stop it from fogging on the inside

In my experience, get the OE ones (Magneti Marelli) or none at all. I bought a Depo one way back when, it looked the same as these pics but the light output was not as good and the level motors were noisy and cheap sounding.

You throw em in the trash. Cuz no e36 deserves cheap headlights
