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.

Pros: plenty bright at night

I hit a deer with an X5 and except for a small piece of missing trim, you couldn't even tell from 10ft away and it was over $10k. One headlight was replaced because the lower mounting tabs on it were broken.

Pros: repaired like new
Cons: expensive repair
Vehicle: BMW X5

I like it both ways. The twins give it a more sporting/race vibe, and the chrome singles are classic and charming. Good thing it is an interchangeable part!

Pros: sporting/race vibe
Cons: classic and charming

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.

Pros: much better condition
Cons: middle of the road
Vehicle: BMW

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.

Pros: no leaks at all
Cons: lenses started fade

My BMW has had very few engine issues…what it has had is a lot of weird and very expensive high tech issues…for example one of the day time running lights went bad because moisture got into the circuit board…this requires a new headlight fixture which was $4k…I just don’t use the DRLs anymore…expect these types of problems to slowly kill your soul

Pros: few engine issues
Cons: expensive high tech issues

Bad quality plastic. Mine are same on the inside, it looks like a million tiny cracks. I'd say it's due to age and wear.

Pros: due to age and wear
Cons: bad quality plastic

I looked at a BMW 7-series with them years back. I spotted tons of issues with it (dynamic headlights fault was one that stuck out in my memory) but they just brushed them off as "They all do that. It's just because it's not been driven for a while".

Cons: dynamic headlights fault
