Any experience with euro lights from DEPO?

Found a source for w124 euro lights, made by DEPO. Appears to be another taiwanese manufacturer, they claim some OEM contracts. I've seen the TYC and am not impressed, curious if anyone can comment on these.

For the slight difference in cost, I'd go with bosch or hella's The Fifft ones are also nice from what I have seen.

But for me, OEM Bosch or Hella is the way to go.

Ashman - thx for the reply - I've not found a Bosch or Hella supplier that is less than *double* what the TYC or DEPO's are. Really trying to avoid spending $500 on these things. I've got Cibies on my 733i, I know what I'm missing on our 300TE, the DOT lights are so bad I'm willing to take a small reduction in performance for a 50% price reduction if I can find it.

Do you have a source for the Fifft - they're made in Italy, right?

THANKS

Brian

Brian,

300TE Euro lights, with corner markers, can be had from PUMA for around $350, maybe a little less. They are original Hella.

Call Paul, or visit their site at puma-access.com

Good luck!

don't waste your time and effort on "off brands".

bosch or hella is the only way to go.
