Headlights Hella or Depo
I've had my depo headlights for almost 2 years and never had any condensation.
I had the DEPO smileys on my last vert and the only annoyance is having to get them wired in correctly and the occasional condensation. Other than that, they're good for what you're paying.
I'm using the Depo HID Projector headlights paired with 4300k bulbs and it works perfectly fine.
I can vouch for the quality of these lights, they and a huge u[grade from the stock setup: they have a nice output and cutoff.
Hella is just going to be better quality than those no-name brands.
Mine came with a nice set of IPF e-codes. I want to replace them with some Hellas to add the city light.
The only major difference appears to be the manufacturer of the sets. The ECS ones are made by Hella and the Parts4Euro ones are made by Depo. Go with the Hella.
I currently have on my car a set of depo/helix smoked angel eye headlights. One of the adjusters on the passenger side light has broke. The headlights themselves are in good shape, i would rate them about 7 out of ten. there are some nics in them from the previous owner being a daily driver, that seems to be the only problem minus the broken adjuster mechanism.
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.
See.. Depo light suck serious donkey d!@#.... Here is a pic of the cracking I was talking about. This only took about a year to show up. Notice how there's even 3M chip protecting film over the covers. Complete garbage.
