Ebay EURO ELLIPSOID SMILEY HEADLIGHTS

[JMe30]

Anyone knows the quality of the EURO ELLIPSOID SMILEY HEADLIGHTS on eBay. $160.00

[Jordan]

Made by Depo. Garbage.

[JMe30]

Anymore details. Elaborate

[Jordan]

They are made in China. They are made of the cheapest materials available. They are GARBAGE.

[JMe30]

Thanks, can you make a recommendation for an alternative.
Clear lens....

Yeah, the real deal and ONLY the real deal.

[Jordan]

Bosch and Hella are both OEM brands that are made in Germany. They both offer clear ellips.

As said above, depo is trash. A clean used set of Hella or Bosch euro ellips is MUCH better than a new set of China junk

Bringing this back from the dead.

Are these the lights the original poster was referring to?

Yes, ask Nando about them.

Is it just me, or are the mount points on those in the wrong places?

[mikeedler]

those pictured are for e34/e32- but are made by the same company.

[Fidhle007]

Ahh, that makes more sense..

[Jean]

So what makes them bad ? They aren't made out of plastic, but glass right ?

Did anybody actually have an objective test done on them to compare to sealed beams, h4s, oem ellipsoids or just saying they are garbage because they are not OEM and made in china ?

I heard hella h4s with a good bulb actually are better than oem ellipsoids in terms of light output - http://www.classicgarage.com/he-71456b.html
