yes, got mine on the bay...seal them up good at the seams with urethane when you get them to prevent leaks...I used red silicone...definetly not a great look :|

I've got the Depo's on two e34's. They seem fine, no leaks... and look just fine. The light seems fine off of them as well. For the cheap price of $75 a pair, I'll let 'em get bashed by rocks and keep going... if it were the headlights, then I'd have to go w/ a better brand.

and I'll look for the seller's info from ebay as well. Should be in the giant file of reciepts and service records from the 13 years of having the 535...

I bought mine via ebay from procarparts.com HTH I have hella yellow/very slight purple h1 bulbs and they do a great job.

So ALL Depo fogs are ellips? Then I might as well buy the pair off ebay for $120 CAD!

Honestly I am personally not too thrilled with mine...The light output isn't as good as the originals. (I used to be able to drive with the low beams off and still see.) Also appearance-wise the ellipsoid dosen't appear as nice as the originals. The whole lens is utilized on the originals. I was expecting better. And as said you have to reinforce the seals and clear rock shields from bavauto will also protect. I've cracked my depo headlights/foglights easily before, not to mention pitting

there were 2 types from bmw

usa spec ellipsoid, my sister has this on her 90 535ia (just a round small light)
usa spec free form which i have on my 91 535im (enitre lense is illuminated)

now i cannot tell u if these were replaced by the previous
owners, but the only reason i need the H1 depos is so i can put
HIDs in my fogs....
