Afaik Depo is the only manufacture that is making knockoffs of the real deal.
I tried some Depo/Helix halogen projector headlights for my wife's 2.5 Jetta some years ago. The optics were terrible.
Otherwise lookup DEPO brand, they’re pretty decent and not $1,400 each like the oem HR headlights.
depo doesn’t seal them as well as they should.
I bought an 06 depo replacement headlight awhile back and I returned it immediately. The seals looked fine but I was intending on resealing them anyways since these depos tend to fog up quite a bit and rather quickly too. Every Z I’ve seen locally here with the blacked housing depos have always had moisture in their headlights and clearcoat fading. But anyways, the headlight i received had finger prints and smudges on all the chrome bits inside the housing and something was either broken or rattling every time I would pick it up. The bulb sockets for the turn signal and city light were stripped so the plugs couldn’t really lock into place. Just felt really cheap overall.
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.
Other than needing some beam adjustment out of the box and not quite as good of fit & finish vs oem, they seem decent for the price.
The DEPO headlights will be a really good upgrade over the 03-05 headlights.
