I just recently bought depo p90s for about $140 on eBay. It was a steal and the seller had no idea idea what depo was lol. Just don't buy the cheapo lights from China. Look up the brand then decide. Most headlights don't come with hid bulbs so you can reuse your halogen bulbs or you can buy a bid kit for addition $80-100. Installation is simple if you have the right tools and time. Good luck!

I have oem lci halogens which come with angel eyes (halos).

Oem will always be better quality than depo and most other 3rd party brands (unless you also do a projector retrofit).

If you're interested in sticking with OEM, PM me for my lci headlights. These typically sell for $400+ USD.
I'm in Canada (Toronto), so we can discuss a fair CAD price if you're interested.

Good luck!

If you use those cheap hid kits in halogen housings all you're doing is blinding everyone. The halogen housing are only made for halogen bulbs.

If you're not afraid of a little diy project, I have a set of oem euro lights for sale. Come with everything.
