I used the old wiper assembly and with some judicious modifying of the support brackets, I used all of the old stuff.

I have heard the Bosch are better quality - there are some crude parts to the Depo, but overall, the Depo are fine at less than half the price of the Bosch.

kudos! that is the look I want. I shall soon achieve this with at least one of my 124s. Where did you get your "depo" brand lights?

I've replaced mine about 7 or 8 years ago and they still shine and perform like on day 1.
They are Bosch.


I know someone who replaced his DEPO (from e-bay) 2 or 3 years after they were installed. The chromed/polished inside reflector started to corrode and fade and they looked awful
If you can, go with Bosch or Hella.

I picked up mine from Importvision Motorsports (http://www.importvision.com/) via their ebay store for $185.
I will certainly keep an eye out for fading and corroding - if that happens then I definitely will go for Bosch.
