Headlights Depo or OEM Honda
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 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.
i have the 2 peice depo's that look like 1 piece and the quality id fair considering the price. they didn't align perfectly, but i think i'm the only one that notices. No bouncing or anything like that.
I used clear silicon around the whole housing and i still get some moisture problems...
The reason why the output is crappy is that even though the DEPO lights look pretty much the same on the outside, they basically just copy the original headlight design and don't do much at all with the actual optics, that's why even with your OEM bulbs the output still looks like crap.
Headlights are generally useless. Mine are yellowed, fogged and badly pitted from goodness knows what. I need to replace them sometime this fall before The Great Darkness® sets in.
