Anybody here running these?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/DEPO-LED-Ha...d=171732656087

I'm not fan of Depo in E39 world but it looks like in E53 world they seem to be best choice if one wants to upgrade to clear corners and angel eyes.

Also, the factory Xenon setup definitely looks outdated IMO. So, I'd appreciate some reviews, especially by long time owners.

Thank you in advance.

Still loving my Depos. Fishcake is a very good seller and his after sales support is strong. I recently contacted him to get some info and he replied within a few hours with pics and info about my now 5 year old lights.

Thank you for the update.
How are the lenses holding up?

Like new. At least as good as factory from what I can see.

No experience on the E53 but have used their lights in other applications. They are well known and generally a good quality product. I'd trust em. Certainly cheaper than OEM.

^Best way to go IMHO. Love my modded lights. Since yours is pre-LCI it will be that much easier.

Thanks. You were right, I had a question and seller responded in matter of hours. That's what you call a Customer Service.

I'm definitely leaning toward them. They don't have such a good reviews with E39. One of the reasons is that lenses are loaded with imprinted lettering which really looks awful.

Thank you. I'm pretty much sold. I'll be watching for one of those 10% off ebay promotions with $50 off max.
