Depo Headlights any good???

I'm looking to change out my OEM headlights on my 4.4 just cause I hate the yellow corners and was looking for a more updated look.

1) What brand do you all suggest? (best quality)
2)Will both low and high beams be xenon?
3)Cost???
4) Ease of installation?

Thanks a million

Hi,

just mounted: BMW X5 E53 ANGEL EYES SCHEINWERFER + WEISSE BLINKER NEU bei eBay.de: Designleuchten Lichter (endet 08.10.10 20:02:54 MESZ)

Makes a lot of difference to the "coolness" of your X :-)
Easy job to replace.
Mine were 2x Halogen like the original ones.

Best Regards, H

they are good at first and then they leak like all aftermarket headlights. I suggest that you seal the housing with silicone yourself. Also, double silicone all joints to make sure they have no holes and wont have any...
my friend's got moisture in his

I had leaking issue not just with rain but car washes as well.

Fishcake on ebay was pretty terrible to deal with and expected me to drive around with no headlights for a few weeks.

They do look great, however. The beam isn't quite as tight as on OEM but not bad none the less. If you do get them, I would STRONGLY suggest sealing them before the install and not buying from fishcake on ebay.
