    I think people say they're not as bright due to a number of reasons. Plan to spend time getting them aimed correctly

    It almost seems like it's worth the risk, reopen them, seal them good inside and out with silica packs.

    I never had an issue with light output when i switched. I threw some phillips xtravisions in there and the output was pretty damn good.

    But if your going to open them up and re seal...
    A. Do a retro while your at it
    B. I highly recommend 3M window weld. Stuff is amazing.

    X2. I spent about 30 -45 mins properly aiming my lights. I can't really compare OEM to these as my stock head lights had the hair line cracks on the inside that really scattered the light. With my new DEPO lights and living in the country I LOVE the light output, especially with the high beams. It's allowed me to see several hogs and deer's eyes from far away on my drive into town before the sun is up. I am running Sylvania light bulbs FWIW.

    I can't recall off the top of my head. I'm out of town at the moment but I have the packaging in my glove box for when I have to replace them. I get them from Autozone; I wanna say they are the ones that says "ultra white" on the package?

    Yeah I'm interested in these too and it'd be nice to find out if anyone has used them.

    Someone posted those up on their truck in the "what have you done to your 2nd Gen today" thread a few days ago...can't remember who it was, but might be worth a look and a pm to them!

    Reporting back in. So far so good. No issues with my DEPO's. silicone bead around the housings still looks good and I believe is helping to prevent moustire build up.

    I guess I should check in too. Been rocking mine for a few months now. Been getting some serious rain here and not a hint of fogging yet.

    Since January. Not that long but I've read people having issues right away especially after an automatic touch less car wash.
