Quality of ESDEPO DEPO Side Marker Bumper Light W211

Well after maybe 10 month of use.... time to dump this pieces of junk and back to Factory OEM side marker.... you can be the judge.... for the one's thinking to get a "Clear side marker" you can't compare quality from OEM....DEPO lights almost melt inside of my bumper using the orange bulb they provide, check pictures.... also alot of water marks inside

stuff
Note to any prospective buyers...my OEM lights look very similar to the Depo ones where the plastic is melted. Depo looks to be very similar quality to OE from what I can tell...but man were they a PITA to install.

I got some orange error free led's in mine. No melting problem, they're clear when off, and orange and legal when on!

You guys with the side markers that stayed on, were they the DEPO brand from ebay? I see quite a few different brands on the bay now.
