I bought a used pair of almost new Depo 9-3 2003-2008 headlights, nice beam pattern and performance.
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.
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.
fitment is shit just stay stock.
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.
