Has anyone ordered these? I am thinking about taking the plunge. Both lights for under 1k$

I believe several people have purchased those. If they had them for night vision at that price, I'd probably get them too.

I asked some of the eBay vendors that sell the Depo version and they told me they have never heard of this brand/option. Interesting alternative and I would be really interested in reading reviews form anyone brave enough to blaze the trail .

Long story short, DON'T buy it. Extremely poor quality and the corner lights are not working anymore. I checked them after connecting by SD (actuations) and that confirms one light is working half, the other not working at all.

Besides this the quality inside the headlights is very poor, wires damaged, lamp unit was loose in the housing.

They are on their way back to the US again

Wow. Thank you for taking that gamble and letting us know the (somewhat unsurprising) results. Depo or OEM then.

No, i tried to get it working with everything i could think of. This was unsuccesfull so i returned them at once. I contacted the seller by eBay and they responded it "might got broken during shipping". Yeah, sure. Shipping damages the wires inside and makes the cornerlights working only to one side (even when i pressed in actuations to the left the headlight moved to the right)

I have ordered headlights now from a European manufacturer. I have heard some things about them that they are more expensive (about 650 usd more) but they are perfect quality. So this was really a case "value for money" although i expected more from 1000 USD set headlights.

This headlights are expected to arrive somewhere this week. I will keep you guys updated here for the ones who might want to buy them.

I have received the headlights from the European seller! Very good quality, everything is working fine (even the corneringlights etc) When someone wants to have these let me know, I can order them for you and ship them to anywhere in the world.

Price will be around 1550 euro+shipping.

What are the options out there for the aftermarket for night vision? and are they really plug and play? I have read threads about having to order extra parts and stuff in addition the headlights themselves.

suggestions?
