Alright ive heard all these people saying that the depos are the greatest thing since sliced bread. But where do you buy them? I cannot find them. Are they the entire headlight or just the projector? I have the Sonar headlights. theyre smoke colored. I have 8k hids in there and anyother headlight or light at all washes them out. Not too happy with that. I have adjusted them and everything but they are not brigh at all! Anybody else having this probelm?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, Khristan, can you post a pic of your lights? Just curious to see which ones you got.

Most aftermarket projectors don't have a clear lense. This will make the light appear dimmer & depending on the optics light quality can be even worse.

I have heard Sonars have mediocre optic quality out of the box. I have never had a set in hand but a better lense & looking at the cutoff sheild for possible improvements would be needed to determine if anything descent can be gotten out of them with a little tuning. The Depo's are a great out of the box setup. Good optics, good cutoff, good projector.

Amazon has the Depos...

DEPO's have alright optics...not to be nit-picky, but one of mine came with the lens off-center significantly, and they are made of some sort of acrylic/plastic. For an aftermarket projector, they are much better quality than most, though.

Still can't beat a high-quality, focused, glass lens, though.
