Anybody run these ellipsoids?

[BMW-UDM]

Hey everyone, wanted to know if anybody personally runs this headlight set up.. And if they dont mind sharing first hand reviews on them. Was curious. They don't seem " bad "... Again, wanna keep it on topic. I know a few ppl are against eBay. Just trying to get product related feedback if any.


Thanks!
Cesar

DEPO. Don't.

from everything i've ever seen, DEPO is one of the better aftermarket lighting companies. why should one not use these?

^ right, most ppl aim for depo, more details would be nice, or is it the eBay factor?

i think those 2 guys are mad because they paid more for used stuff, then got raped on shipping.....


i would buy those lights in a heartbeat.

Lol. I actually got my almost perfect set of us ellips for $100. No shipping.

And as for depo, in my experience, they are of lesser quality of the oem ellips, and they don't look right. They look fake. (Which they are).

But I'm sure they are fine.

Yeah I got them for Christmas one year when I first got my red car. They literally filled with water and fogged up from the first wash.

So I took them apart, dried them, re-sealed them very, very thoroughly then reinstalled them. Washed the car, no fog. One week later it rained. The right one filled with water again and the left one just fogged up real bad.

Depo for E30's = garbage

i got my oem euro smileys AND euro grills for less

when in doubt, go with OEM

you get what you pay for. Get a good used set from Guten and be done with it. Youll be money ahead

[BMW-UDM]

^ nice! Thanks!

Question though.. Is that a vendor? Or member? New to the e30 forum and part sources, sorry noob over here, lol



Anybody else with in put on this part?

[Balleristic31]

^ pm ZM Blue Devil.

He will hook it up guten style

my only problem with depo lights, they work fine they will just fill with water, when it rains, washing etc. have taillights, brand new, already filled with water after it rained, then gets all foggy up in there
