Pros: work great
Cons: higher cost

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.

Pros: popular option, OEM-style

The Depos came with H4/H1 and I upgraded to LED. The new reflector design is much better than factory and give it a fresh look. They would be "ok" with H bulbs but the LEDs def throw better light.

Pros: improved reflector design, fresh aesthetic, better LED light output

DEPO is pretty much the most popular aftermarket brands. Kinda pricey, but I’ve had mine on my car for 2 years, and I have no idea how long they had been on before then. I cracked one of the covers and was able to order a replacement for less than $50.

Pros: popular brand, replacement available
Cons: kinda pricey

My favorites are the Hellas as they have the best balance of range and shadow-free pattern. Bosch also lack shadows, but have slightly less range. The Cibié have the best range, but do have a less even spread of light, especially on high beam.

Pros: best balance of range
Cons: Cibié less even spread

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.

Pros: love them, no leaks after sealing
Cons: H1 output not great, potential for leaks
Vehicle: BMW

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

Cons: not quality product

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.

Pros: get OE ones
Cons: light output not good
