I was involved in a recent accident. I had to have the driver side QP, front bumper and driver headlight changed. I insisted on stock items, but my insurance only covered remanufactured OEM. However before I took it in to get fixed, moisture got into the old cracked headlight and since then the low beam didn’t light up. Im hoping its just the bulb and not the ballast or any electrical component. Anyway I got the car back Friday and I assumed they fixed it, but that night I learned that it still wasn’t working and I found a lot of moisture in the headlight. This has to be from the bulb that was previously soaked and not replaced with a new bulb because it wasn’t raining at all. Also, I noticed that the headlight said DEPO on it instead of Stanley or Honda. So, I don’t know if this is remanufactured or just a aftermarket. As far as I know there are no aftermarket TSX headlights but if it is I’m worried about the quality of the lens and watertight capabilities of this headlight. Since I have never seen it project from the low beam I have no clue what the output will be like.

No aftermarket lights I've ever heard of. It'd be a pretty niche market to get into after all. Bitch at your insurance company that it isn't fixed right. That's why you give them tons of your hard earned cash every year.

Hmm well after some searching DEPO makes aftermarket replacemnts headlights. Mine say DEPO on them....

any other opinions on whether my DEPO lights are aftermarket or OEM?

DEPO is definately an aftermarket light manufacturer. They produce many replacement lighting options, that "meet or exceed OEM specifications".

Real TSX headlights ('04-'05 at least I know of) say HONDA near the lower corner of the high beam section.

I am unsure what the '06+ says, for they might say ACURA on them.
