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

                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?

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

                              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
