The Bosch's on mine are still fantastic. Got a great deal too, $120 for the pair w/ Euro corners, so I got a new set of lenses for $100 and I'm still well within the usual selling range of the Euros, but with new lenses.
Compared to that picture, yes, my Depo lights were blurry.

Worse, couldn't adjust them. Plastic so darn soft doesn't help either. Tried adding washers, but no help.

So if anyone wants Depo lights, be glad to sell you used ones.

Every last European light I got off eBay has arrived in shattered pieces (and despite what is claimed, there is no means of insurance). Found a set locally, but sold out from under me.
