I have a set of projector depo lights from uniquestyleracing. They have been fine for me. I recently swapped my halogen H1 bulbs for an LED bulb and it\u2019s plenty bright at night.
Hella. Premium quality, OE supplier for many carmakers
I run the H4 conversions from HELLA and they have been great. A lot more light than the old sealed beams and retains the stock look unlike the dorky looking LEDs. I ran a relay harness so they get power direct from the battery.
Unless you are in love with those headlights, I'd go with some smileys, I installed the Depo reps.
Upgraded OEM style like hela. The og lights are effectively candles at this point.
I ran Depos on a 97 M3 for a while, much better than the condition of the headlights when I bought the car, middle of the road for me and I have horrible night vision.
I\u2019ve had Depo for 4 years now, on a car kept outside. Mine have not leaked at all, but the lenses have started to fade. I\u2019m about to restore them soon.
Depos are junk, they yellow and get water inside them anytime you wash your car.
what you do is chuck these in the garbage and just buy hella h4 replaceable 7" round headlights (they are glass as well so it wont fade/uv cooked) and stick with those. these offbrand amazon/ebay/temu/aliexpress halo led headlights have such garbage light output and beam pattern that you'd be better off just strapping led pen lights to the front of your car.
DEPOs are absolute trash. I've had them literally crumble while sitting on my kitchen table... Like tabs started flying around...
