Depo is a brand of aftermarket headlamps.

The place where I buy my parts online gets $255ea for new Bosch Euro '94/'95 lights, not bad IMO. I've only bought Bosch and Hella OE lights so far, so I can't comment on the quality of Depo.

Correct, Depot is a brand, usually known to make cheaper copys of OE headlights. My best friend has an 88 300E with OE Hella euros on it. I compared my depots with his one on one. Honestly, his are obviously higher quality, but the depots, for the money, arent bad at all. They did a good job on the MB 124 lights. Some of there other car brands may not be so great. These lights even have the vacuum height adjusters. Still has an all glass lens. The only downside to them was the adjusters arent as high quality as the bosch or hella. But, set it once, and forget it.

Im running high watt osram bulbs in it, and the night driving is amazing! I believe they were $275 shipped, give or take a little.

Looks great!! Nothing like a good wash!!

Talking about wash, one of the carwash chains here in town started a $29.99 per month unlimited wash. I signed up my 85D for it.

They put a barcode in the door and sensor strip on the windshield so you can go in anytime you want. Theres nothing like a regular carwash can do for keeping the salties off. 4 washes pays for it so I figured after the 4th I'll be ahead. I'll be doin' it for the 84, too.

Wow thats actually a really good deal. If one of mine did that, they would make a killing in the winter time, just to wash the salt off a car...
