yeah got the depos seems like a decent light pattern, no stray light beams or anything (never had the stock ones to compare to though)

Depo are good headlights. if you have problem with condensation, make sure to check the seal between the ballast and the headlight; otherwise you might get condensation again with the new headlights.

who captures jjashaa?

i haver only had my car for 2 weeks now but you got me looking at the light pattern and there is a little bit of a hotspot(brighter) in the passenger side headlight but only really noticable when it is darker out, aka back roads with no street lights with no other cars really, in town not really noticable at all

Most of the time the condensation comes from the bottom of the light.

Depo lights are the way to go if you want to replace your headlights. Some people are anal about things like that so they have to have OEM; others get the depo. The only difference is the light pattern. Besides that they are pretty much the same.

I don't think that there is a cutoff with the Depos but I could be wrong.
