W208 Aftermarket Headlight brands?
What are the different type of aftermarket headlights, we all know about Depo, Sonar which I believe a lot of people on this website got them from Neweggmall or their website racer-union.com, and I believe Eagle Eyes.
For those who have them or has had them, what is your favorite and why. Were there any issues, and IYO, what is the quality.
Haters need not reply.

I have the cheese crater ones 
reason why I got then it’s because they were the only headlights w/projectors at the time. I don’t really have anything bad to say about them other than the way they look. I'm pretty sure they work just like the rest of other headlight out there. I’m getting ready to buy a new set, but I’m going to get the ones with halo lights on them, but I’m going to remove the halo light out of them and install them on the car..
Then I could actually give you some feedback between the two...

headlights
ACB, which ones are you planning on getting. I was reading that the ones that were on newegg or whatever that website have leaking issues, but then that is just what I saw on this website. Why don't you like the cheesegrader ones, are they hid?

Best Projectors
Doesn't anyone else have any projector headlights that for aftermarket they are are good quality. I got some Sonars but wasn't particularily happy, they look good although they are not xenon compatable so I am sending them back. On the second picture on the back side looks like they just threw some rubber on the back where the bulbs go and ran some wires through them. These are Sonars.
On the first picture, it looks alot cleaner quality wise although that does not equate to a better quality.
With that said, I don't mind spending the extra $$$ to get the better set which is why i started this thread, to find out which is the best not only for myself which I plan on ordering by Tuseday (tomorrow) but for others who are wondering the same.
Now as for Depo, I've got a set of projectors on my BMW that i have had for a couple of years trouble free, the cornering lamps were a total different story, basically crap. I've also got a S Class with Depos and never a problem, closest to OEM that they could get although not projector.
If you have Depos, let me know what you think about them.
Thanks,
Dennis
