Question Anybody use DEPO fog lights?

So I'm kinda stuck between getting an oem passenger side fog light for $140 or new depo driver & passenger for pretty much the same price

My question is, does anybody here use the depo fog lights and notice any difference in quality and fit compared to the oem?

The DEPO is 100% Identical to the OEM Fogs. Now here's what I dont get or remember when I had my OEM Fogs. My OEM fogs got ruined when a rock hit the glass and teared all the glass out. A month later my other Fog went to crap.

I got the DEPO at 150 for both sides. Fit is OEM cant tell the difference. Now heres the difference The Depo's I have, have a small punctured hole on the top left corner it was there from factory. I get some condensation in Winter but it nothing major. I swapped to a pair of TYC thinking the Depo's were defective. The TYC also had that small hole in the glass and also just fogged up a bit in winter nothing crazy though.

I think it plastic I've had them for almost 3 years now and I never had a problem with the plastic cracking or breaking from road debris/rocks. The only downside is the VERY small amount of condensation I get in winter when bringing the car into a heated garage. It goes away after 20 min, but its something I never noticed with my OEM fogs.

Anyways my OEM glass cracked easily, These have had more of a beating and still no cracking!!

I also have has an HID kit in these fogs for the past year, and also no issues!!

ha ha funny... i deal with aftermarket parts all day.... People pefer DEPO over TYC, because they dont know about TYC... TYC makes lights for car manufactor. on a 04-06 Scion xA, TYC makes the tail lamps. Look at any xA and you will see a TYC # xx-xxxx-xx on the lens. CAPA is a BS way of making money. CAPA is just a 3rd party organization that certifies them to fit. Garbage, when the get a complaint they de-certified it and give credit for the diffence in price. Pretty funny if you ask me..
