Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have bought many types of Depo lights (headlights, marker lights, fogs) over the years and one thing I have discovered is that they ALWAYS leak water and mist up inside the lens if you don't seal them first. Someone showed me an easy way to prevent this, however. Before installing the lights for the first time, I run a bead of Seal All on the entire seam where the clear lens meets the body of the light and let it dry. You can find Seal All at most auto parts or hardware stores, it's like a big yellow tube of airplane glue. Be careful not to get any Seal All on the clear lens, even for a second, because like airplane glue it will never come off.
When I seal my Depo lights first, I never get water or misting inside the lens. When I don't, the Depos always leak and mist up, it's as simple as that. Once you get past this problem, the Depos last forever (well at least during the years I have had them). You would think that Depo would have fixed this problem by now, but I guess they haven't.
This is my second set of Depo projector lights for my car. The first set got damaged (no fault of Depo) and had to be replaced after six years. The first set initially leaked and I had to dry the insides out thoroughly and seal them. This was a pain, so now I seal my Depos before installing them. After that I had no problems. These projectors have updated the looks of my car significantly over the OEM headlights. One thing: resist the urge to put in bulbs with more power than the standard 55 watts. You will get more light but you will melt the wiring harnesses in your car and inside the light housings. I did this and had to replace all the connectors. I find that 55 watt bulbs throw plenty of light.
I really like the way these Depos look and they are priced lower than OEM. Once you get the leaking problem solved, which takes about ten minutes if you do it as a preventative measure, the pluses outweigh the minuses on these lights.
