Headlights Osram or Depo
I own these and they are great! I converted my Z to an aftermarket HID kit with these headlights and they are top notch. Bright clean light output, bright turn signal. Basically a clone of the newer 350Z housings but they do get a little humidity when I spray water on them from washing the car. That's the only downside in my opinion. A little light does leak through the gray area around the projector because I guess the paint is a little thin. You only notice this with the headlights on staring at them super up-close at night. No one is going to notice this.
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.
DEPO is crap. REALLY cheap, Asian knockoff lousy lighting that your car does NOT deserve to suffer from.
stey away from depo... All the beam pattern I had seen from them SUCKS!!
