Headlights???
SO....... I bought a set of DEPO "brand" headlights for a couple hundred bucks, the arrived in good shape and looked pretty cool until.... I removed the lenses to have a closer look at the "angel eyes" and shattered most of the clips and plastic parts...
my conclusion; Depos are cheap as hell and not what I want on my car. are there any dealers out there that sell good QUALITY glass lights? I saw Dj Auto but they seem like effing junk too. Truner Motors has a set of hellas for 700$+ but that seems a bit much. what do?
