    I'd like your feedback on it before I buy one. Is the quality good?
    Any problems with it? I'm planning to install some HID's in them.

    I've heard nothing but complaints about the low quality of the Depo lights. Stick with Hella's.

    For $100 bucks

    I bought a set of these...yeah their not Hellas, but they fit perfect, wiring was included (just gotta do up the city lights)

    No HID for me, just plain ol' H1s...

    Most of the used Hellas look like crap and new ones are running $500.

    I have got the new Hella black yesterday from Germany. Of course much more expensive, but worth the money.
    For example the high beam reflectors are made of metal, (I checked it with a magnet), not like the cheapos made out of plastic with chrome sprayed on or so.

    the electrical connecter on the back of the buckets keep disconnecting. as of now my fogs are out, my high beams are out, the lenses are cracked, the lights themselves are terribly dim and the fogs get condensation in them quite often
