Headlights Depo or OEM Mazda
I went DEPO and they are still great after over a year.
I got the Depo sport headlights from Amazon. Fits great. I highly doubt the UV coating will last as long as OEM, but definitely a lot cheaper.
I just installed new Depo OE HID Replica headlights and fogs from ECS tuning on my ‘03 Jetta. Much better visibility with the new headlights I’d like to get everything working properly.
I wish my cutoff line is like that for my DEPO’s
I installed my DEPO headlights & they made a world of difference in terms of aesthetic. I’m not too sure about how the light intensity is from the projectors but I could just need an alignment…
I have the smoked DEPO's. I love them so far. The H1 output isn't great but I plan to upgrade to LED's or HID sometime. I do recommend getting LAMIN-X to protect the lenses from pitting and put an additional bit of clear silicone sealant around the edge of the lens. DEPO's used to have an issue with leaking. I found a suspect spot on mine so I added additional sealant to ensure no leaks. No problem after 1 year.
DEPO is about the best you could get as far as aftermarket goes. everything else are about a few tiers off as light output concern. but then compare to OEM it's still not as good.
Depo are usually shit.
I drive a Mazda2. The sheer joy of having those big "trucks" behind me at night is amazing. I need sunglasses at 8pm because those fuckers are brighter than the sun. Cop it in the side mirrors and the rear view mirror.
The Depo aftermarket ones have the reputation for leaking. I would pass.
