These are the same DEPO headlights that are sold on other aftermarket/mod websites. There is actually a significant amount of discussion on the forum about the DEPO units if you search. There is a lot of criticism of the "halo's" and whether they can be disabled/removed because a ton of people don't like them because of the BMW look.

They are plug and play and are Xenon for low beams, but are not Bi-Xenon and are NOT OEM. Some people think the quality of the DEPO product is not even close to OEM, especially Xenon lens quality and beam clarity/cutoff.

What you decide to do is purely a personal preference. You can do DEPO, or you can do an OEM retrofit. Personally, I prefer OEM Bi-Xenon.

If you search you can find photos of at least one car on the forum with these installed. Poking around other threads may help you make your decision.

PS - click SEARCH up at the top, select the B7 forum, and type in DEPO.
