Headlights Depo or Morimoto
Morimoto xb hybrids for sure. 800$ and look and perform great
I'm happy with my Depo ones, but have only had them installed for like 4 or 5 months.
Depo at $140 each are excellent quality for the money!
Fit and finnish pretty good, the HID base reflector and the H7 base reflector are made out of metal. Also the shutter is made also of metal, something treated against corosion. The bi-xenon solenoid has no overheating signs in almost 2 years of use.
Depo would probably improve on the design. Me and a lot of fellow Optima owners have burnt headlight bowls.
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.
I just installed the Depo models: Overall quality is ok for the price I paid. I had to do some troubleshooting because the blinkers would not come on: 1. The female spade connector from the wire harness had to be crimped tighter so it made good contact with the male connector on the sides of the socket housing 2. And I also pulled the center contact inside the socket housing so it made good contact with the bulb once inserted. I like the light output compared with the stock headlights...now I just need to aim them.
I replaced the stock headlamps with Depo black euro headlights and was fine for 6 months, then the bulb recently blew up again! Shards of glass ruined the almost new headlamp! The wiring must be iffy since there has been some meltage, my guess is too much current on the right side.
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.
