Headlights OEM Subaru or Depo

I’ve been running depos for like 1.5 -2 months now. They’ve been holding up great. Love them.

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.

Oem is the best option, you can find deals on eBay or online sometimes, second best is depo aftermarket brand replacement headlights, not as good quality but the price is right.

I went from a base to a limited. Honestly, the headlights are worth it.

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.

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.

I currently have on my car a set of depo/helix smoked angel eye headlights. One of the adjusters on the passenger side light has broke. The headlights themselves are in good shape, i would rate them about 7 out of ten. there are some nics in them from the previous owner being a daily driver, that seems to be the only problem minus the broken adjuster mechanism.

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

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.

You throw em in the trash. Cuz no e36 deserves cheap headlights
