DEPO headlights - $520 later...
Expensive - but awsome!

I love these lights - I am using my OEM 4K bulbs and the light output is great, probably clean new projector makes big difference.
I had them for a couple of days now - no complains, no fogging, quality is super/like OEM.
When I am driving every day to work I noticed that allot of people in the oposite traffic is checking them out, probably because the LED Halos are so bright and unique. Halos, low beams, auto leveling - everything works and NO error messages (with OEM bulbs)

























Tape on the garage door shows where the OEM light output line was...

those look sweet, my depos are the older generation and only have between 5-6 led per ring! boo... i am thinking of buying some rope LEDs or just more leds and wiring them up by drilling some holes in from the back. (thats a fun project but unfortunately towards the bottom of the list.)

Not a fan of the way the cutoff beam is slanted, not sure what everyone is raving about. Just seems like it would blind oncoming traffic unless you aim them lower which makes them less effective for the driver.

The beam is almost exactly at the same hight as the previous OEM lights...and the beam cutoff on the ground when you are driving looks the same as OEM lights. Also they are not blinding oncoming traffic at all - I used them for a couple of days and no one complained (no High beams from oncoming traffic)

I'm assuming they do not auto-level. They look pretty sweet.

Yes they do - they come with autoleveling motors and work exactly like OEM headlights
