Headlights Depo or OEM Mazda
I’ve been running depos for like 1.5 -2 months now. They’ve been holding up great. Love them.
Get something OEM-equivalent, DEPO black housing headlights are a popular option. Most brands should be similar enough if you stick to OEM-style, but DEPO is the only brand I personally have experience with.
Oem is the best option, you can find deals on eBay or online sometimes, second best is depo aftermarket brand replacement headlights, not as good quality but the price is right.
The Depos came with H4/H1 and I upgraded to LED. The new reflector design is much better than factory and give it a fresh look. They would be "ok" with H bulbs but the LEDs def throw better light.
DEPO is pretty much the most popular aftermarket brands. Kinda pricey, but I’ve had mine on my car for 2 years, and I have no idea how long they had been on before then. I cracked one of the covers and was able to order a replacement for less than $50.
Definitely Depo. Well known brand, they fit perfectly and are made for cars equipped with the halogens standard. They also look exactly like OEM.
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.
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.
You throw em in the trash. Cuz no e36 deserves cheap headlights
Main problem with depos, is they aren’t always sealed properly, so the headlights will have moister inside.
