Headlights OEM Subaru or Depo

OEM Subaru Headlights

I have been worrying about this ever since I got my 2025 Crosstrek. These new headlights are much better for my lousy eyesight while I'm driving at night

Pros: better for eyesight
Cons: pissing people off
Vehicle: Subaru

Either Depo or TYC from rock auto will give you OEM look and performance without the OEM price. I replaced my headlights and corner lights with these 2 brands over a year and a half ago with no moisture or fitment issues.

Pros: OEM look and performance
Cons: no moisture or fitment issues

Just search for e-code headlights. I have Depo and they're fine, but not as nice as OEM Valeo.

Pros: fine quality
Cons: not as nice as OEM

I came to reddit to make sure I wasn't crazy. 2025 Impreza. I just got it and had it out at night for the first time last night. Same exact issues. Very odd cutout on the road in front of me. Very distracting.

Cons: odd cutout, distracting
Vehicle: Subaru Impreza

don't spray ANY harsh cleaner on those Depo's. Soap and water only and make sure you put some kind of UV protectant after every wash. Depos are good until they aren't, you can search this on the GXOR main group page on FB to see what happens 8-12 months with Depo bc they use the cheapest and thinnest lenses which will yellow and get stress cracks from the sun and heat if you don't care for them. Don't let the honeymoon phase fool you, there is a reason why Depo's are significantly cheaper than OEM NOS. I had the same sport depo's on my 470, and after 2yrs they were trashed.

Cons: yellowing, stress cracks
Vehicle: Lexus GX
