Ellipsoids

[1991 E30 M42]

Has anyone had any experience with the DEPO ellipsoids? If so, how is the quality, do they have the same light pattern as the euro ellips?

They look the same, but quality is terrible, beam pattern is terrible, there is a lot of light waste, and the materials used are very cheap. Just get used ones that are real.

I had used ones and I loved them, I replaced all of the adjusters and everything worked smoothly and they had a great pattern, but they got destroyed, so now I have to replace them because I rewired the car to use the euro ellipsoids. I was just curious about the Depo's quality.

on average they're of mid to low quality, though there are plenty who have good experiences there are also many with poor ones. Personally I opted to buy used euro elips, the quality is much higher.
