Default "DEPO" HID E-Codes? Anyone have them or heard of them?

Just curious about them, since they seem to have good reviews when I google them to an extent.

I think they look very similar to the Valeo, but there is not a real close detail of the lens and of the light as a whole.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=8057360458#ebaypho tohosting">The reason I am asking...</a></li></ul>

Default I had DEPO lights on my GTI and hated them, terrible quality

But I also have their E-codes on my 80Q and they're cheap, but at least they're better than the NA-spec lights it came with. Unless you can't afford anything else I'd stick with Valeo or Hella.

Default I have them. Compared to all the crapy looking lights you can get for the audi, the looks are good.

Default Big, huge, SKIP...unless you like uber poor lighting and gallons of water in your housings....

for real...its a waste of time, money, and energy. Just save up for halogen e-codes and then later go to HID. I too though "hey...how bad can they be?"...well...they SUCK ***! Worse light output than my stockers and they leak like a fountain....even when I silicon'd them up.
