Well, everyone bitches about how the DEPO ellipsoid lights for E30's leak and whatnot... I had a funny thing happen at work on thursday.
I had an E46 325i '04 come in with a turnsignal bulb out at the front right. I checked the bulb, looked ok, but the contacts were burnt in the bulb holer. I sent a request for a new socket and bulb, and tried to install it in the turn signal housing, but it wouldn't go in. Upon further inspection I found that the housing had melted and was distorted to the point where a new socket wouldn't thread into the housing. I sent another request for a whole turn signal housing and socket, and when I put the old one back in the new box to turn in (its wty), I noticed the front of it said DEPO. I looked at the other light on the left side, it was not a DEPO housing... nor was the new one... so I am not sure how the car aquired one housing of one brand and one of another, but the DEPO I removed also had water inside it from leaking... I kinda laughed since it wen't perfectly well with what everyone said about the lights they made for E30's and it proves the same for even newer car parts they make.
Just thought I would share 8)
