Headlights Depo or OEM Honda

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

The headlights on my 2026 TSE are too bright. even on low beam I constantly get flashed. When I’m not getting flashed the lows are considerably brighter than past cars I’ve owned

Pros: considerably brighter lows
Cons: headlights too bright

What’s up with the weak headlights? My 5 year old Pilot (also with factory LEDs) just light up the road way more, throw is farther, and output is wider.

Pros: farther throw, wider output
Cons: weak headlights

don't spray ANY harsh cleaner on those Depo's. Soap and water only and make sure you put some kind of UV protectant after every wash. Depos are good until they aren't, you can search this on the GXOR main group page on FB to see what happens 8-12 months with Depo bc they use the cheapest and thinnest lenses which will yellow and get stress cracks from the sun and heat if you don't care for them. Don't let the honeymoon phase fool you, there is a reason why Depo's are significantly cheaper than OEM NOS. I had the same sport depo's on my 470, and after 2yrs they were trashed.

Cons: yellowing, stress cracks

So I just bought some depo headlights to upgrade form my foggy oem ones. Went for a drive and the low beams seem decently placed, maybe a little high but somewhat dim output. The high beams unfortunately are in the trees and absolutely useless. I’ve used the adjustment screw on the back and I’ve run out of adjustment to bring them down. Photos added for detail. Not sure what to do at this point, disappointed to have spent 400 on lights that might not work out.

Pros: low beams decently placed
Cons: dim output, high beams useless, run out of adjustment
