Headlights Osram or Depo

The Osram headlights are better than “normal“ aftermarket ones, not as good as OEM Xenon, but still realy good. My buddy had for his MK6 aftermarket GTI Headlights, at night they were pretty bad, than he ordered the osram, and the difference is huge compared to the ****ty aftermarket crap.

I never had an issue with my depo vento e-codes.

There's nothing wrong with the Depo smoked Vento e-codes. You just have to put a bead of black silicone around the edges where the glass meets the plastic housing for preventative watertight measures and they're fine.

DEPO are absolutely fine; they're not an OEM manufacturer for BMW, but they are for plenty of other brands so you shouldn't have the same concerns as you would with aftermarket rubbish. I've pulled them off scrapyard E30s before and they've been in better condition than the original stuff.

I'm happy with the quality, was a lot less than Hellas, been using them for 4 years with no issue, protected the lenses with film as they are glass, also fitted with HIDs

3 years with DEPO smileys. Euro spec H1. no fogging/condensation. The wiring at the back of the cap started to come undone but I hit it with a blob of hot glue and it was fine. Switched from H1 to LED bulbs, works great.

OSRAM Headlights on an mk6 = <3

Can someone who has these newer DEPO angel eye headlights tell me how to adjust or aim the headlights? Just finished doing a Getta conversion and a respray and want to get my darn headlights right! I see the big white knob on the top and the black knob on the bottom. But after turning the white knob on the top, I was only able to get a tiny bit of adjustment. I could not easily turn the bottom black knobs. I know headlight adjustment knobs move very slowly in the adjustments - so I'm asking after spending minutes turning the whiet knobs for little change. My driver's side beam is directly pointing at oncoming traffic but aiming low. Passnger side needs to be lowered and centered too. I'd love to have my headlights adjusted so I can see if these Osram Silverstars are really the shizel

I had Depo with fogs on my GTI when I had it and with the fogs on (which are integral to the headlight) the heat from the fog melted the housing right in front. It looked like a cigarette burn right in front of the lense.

I bought a set of "smoked" DEPO's from an unnamed, supposedly reputable, used-parts seller on the vortex. Upon receiving the lights, discovered that two of the internal mounting tabs on the passenger headlights were broken.
