If you get lights, get depo lights.
Used depo aftermarket headlight since my OEM ones were melted on the inside from the Drls and super faded from the sun. Bulbs were D2S with lexus OE ballasts. Used a morimoto Motocontrol relay harness to eliminate flickering. Pretty fun diy mod and super happy with the results and the clean cut off line. I also disabled the DRL so this set won't melt.
We had this on our 2021. VW replaced under warranty but not before making sure we didn’t touch the headlights to cause it ourselves
My dad has had the OE European (glass) headlights on his Mk4 Golf since 2002. They still look great all these years later, despite 300,000+ miles on them. The European beam pattern is so much better than the U.S. one, too.
I had them in my Mk4 Golf Tdi. E-Codes from Vw they were a lot brighter.
Other than needing some beam adjustment out of the box and not quite as good of fit & finish vs oem, they seem decent for the price.
I thought the headlight gap was normal. I have glass depos and they have the same gap. The original plastic headlights had the same gap as well.
VW OEM parts are expensive as fuck, VW Dealers wont give you the part number so you can source it cheaper either, they're called stealerships for a reason, partners VW Beetle was $1500 for 1 headlight.
I've had 2 sets of Depots. Both developed micro-cracks/crazing, in about a year.
I had a pair of depo headlights, maybe the same ones there. They started with good light output and relatively quickly degraded on the low beam with the projector. I got a chance to drive that car again and they are pretty terrible now, warning.
