Headlights Hella or Depo

DEPO makes good headlights and they\u2019re 3-400 for the set.

I swapped the Hella conversions in on my '87 16V last year. These part numbers worked just fine: Low beams x2 Hella 003177862 HLMP MOD 164X103 H4 High beams HELLA 003177821 164x103mm H1 High Beam Halogen Conversion Headlamp Kit

Search up DEPO BMW F30 headlights on google. They're made to replace the shitty halogens and they look and perform exactly as the OEM Pre-LCI style headlights.

Might be an unpopular opinion but get a pair of Hella Vision Plus (1A6002395) H4 headlights, ceramic H4 connectors and 100/90w H4 bulbs. Night and day difference without messing with the beautiful classic look.

I'm normally a certified hater when it comes to non-OEM lighting, but the Depos are really nice.

It's decent my dad has headlight for his f11 from them because the Hella are not available so it was planned to be temporary but it's pretty fine few manufacturing flaws but you need to look close to find them.

I’ve installed the depo set on my F30 before, it will changed the look of the car completely no doubt, Bmw is iconic for their angel eyes and if you’ve got the used f30 with halogen, its the worst. I didnt go my research enough and got too excited with my first F30 so got the one with stock halogen.

But honestly the depo ones was only like 70% close, been with F30 for a while i can definitely tell if one was depo or oem with a quick glance. Plus the housing of the headlight trying to convert them to Bi-xenon look, they make it less bright, which is not really safe driving at night time.

I've had 2 sets of Depots. Both developed micro-cracks/crazing, in about a year.

I had a pair of depo headlights, maybe the same ones there. They started with good light output and relatively quickly degraded on the low beam with the projector. I got a chance to drive that car again and they are pretty terrible now, warning.

I had depo headlights on my last car. If you drive outside the city at night much then it's not much of an issue but the light output and pattern really leaves something to be desired, even with the xenon.
