DEPO Black Housing Headlights

Not sure how long these have been out, but I just saw them. Has anybody tried these?

They also have LED tail lights in clear and smoke.

I'm not sure the tail light is 100% LED and seems to be only the turn signal is LED. Or atleast the seller doesn't show a pic of the parking light or brake light turned on.

Those headlights look sweet, but it says halogen projector? Does that mean it wouldn't work for the factory Bi-Xenons?

It's a replica of OEM LED tail lights, so I think only the turn signals are LEDs.

I would guess not. I wonder if these have a better cutoff with HIDs than OEM halogen projectors.

Depo is a Taiwan based company, actually make lots of OEM replacement parts for alot of manufacturers. I've used them before and the quality isn't bad, much better than the Chinese counterpart. My main concern regarding these is if it still uses the in cabin leveler or not.

And no, the halogen version would not work in replacing your bi-xenon.

I haven't read any bad things about Depo either. Depo makes the best side markers for the W204.

And in-cabin leveler? Are you referring to the auto-leveling feature? I think that's only for the bi-xenons.
