Headlights Depo or TYC
Search up DEPO BMW F30 headlights on google. They're made to replace the shitty halogens and they look and perform exactly as the OEM Pre-LCI style headlights.
Bought these for my 05 and they turned out nice.
For that price, you’re looking at the same cost as a set of TYC headlights, which are great quality headlights.
I'm normally a certified hater when it comes to non-OEM lighting, but the Depos are really nice.
Put these in today and I can’t believe how much the headlights change the look of the car.
Those HID bulbs are clip H1 housing type and the US style lights won't fit because they are twist 9005/9006 housing. You need the glass depo/zkw/bosch type to fit those H1 bulbs
I’ve installed the depo set on my F30 before, it will changed the look of the car completely no doubt, Bmw is iconic for their angel eyes and if you’ve got the used f30 with halogen, its the worst. I didnt go my research enough and got too excited with my first F30 so got the one with stock halogen.
But honestly the depo ones was only like 70% close, been with F30 for a while i can definitely tell if one was depo or oem with a quick glance. Plus the housing of the headlight trying to convert them to Bi-xenon look, they make it less bright, which is not really safe driving at night time.
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.
I had depo headlights on my last car. If you drive outside the city at night much then it's not much of an issue but the light output and pattern really leaves something to be desired, even with the xenon.
