Just ask Nando about his experiances.

I've seen his in person twice and talked to him about them. He said that he can't stop them from fogging up inside, and that the adjuster screws are absolutley crap on them.

What are the ambient conditions where you guys live? Any chance it's a weather dependent issue?

They fog up any time it rains.

Wow, that blows. it rains 9 months outta the year here..

no DEPO for me :(

The E36 ones are just as bad from what I've seen. Horrible quality control.

Funny thing though, is when i bought them it was because i couldn't get hellas here in time, and they only cost $50 less than hellas.

lesson learned. eventually i'll replace them.

well i guess no depo for me, heheehe :D Thanks for the heads up, it did seem like a good deal until you guys confirmed that they do have a foging problem.

thats the least of your worries with them. the beam pattern is shit, you can't aim them, and there are NO foci in the highbeams. I'm not shitting you.

haha, we need a sticky thread with the title "Depo lights are crap"

maybe some of you noticed that my lights were all fogged up at the E30 picnic. If I barely spray any water on them, it goes right inside. The adjuster screws also break very easily, in fact two of mine were broken right out of the box. they are almost impossible to turn when you have them inside the car, making adjustment frustrating.

look for some Hella or Bosch ellipsoids, you should be able to get a used set in good condition for around the same price.

I dont understand why I cant aim my headlights. Shouldnt it be as simple as buying some screw to hold them in right. I didnt think my headlights were that bad but whatever.....
I guess you did cheat me out Kris ;)
