On my '04 WRX I used the Depo replacements after I tried the E-Bay Halo replacements for 1 day (worse headlight ever on the cheapy cool looking things). The Depo were OEM "look", probably insurance approved. I know they are not OEM, but I would say they are +95% of the OEM light pattern, which is still VERY good.
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.
Mine used to get moisture inside on the passenger side. Only when I decided to completely separate the lenses from the housing to fix the adjusters did they seal properly. Just used a clear silicone around it.
Pretty much these depo heads are plug and play just make sure all the wires sit perfect on the heads and you are good to go.! I only needed to run a wire for the fog lights.
Beam Pattern Output is IDENTICAL for both Low beam operation and High Beam Operation. There is NO difference. Zip. Zero, between the two.
I bought a set of "smoked" DEPO's from an unnamed, supposedly reputable, used-parts seller on the vortex. Upon receiving the lights, discovered that two of the internal mounting tabs on the passenger headlights were broken.
they look like crap imo. too many gaps on the side, top, bottom etc... they just don't look like they belong. that and you have to bootleg the install just to hide everything. shouldn't have to be like that. keep it clean.
DEPO is crap. REALLY cheap, Asian knockoff lousy lighting that your car does NOT deserve to suffer from.
