Stock Headlight Replacement

[dwaleke]

I have searched and can only really find info related to HIDs and retrofitting so here's my question.

I have a failed headlight and I'm looking to replace it. OEM cost is something like $240 per headlight. I see Modern Performance sells a couple DEPO headlights.

Depo Replacements:
DEPO Replacement Headlights 03-05 Neon - Lights & Bulbs

Depo Projectors:
DEPO Projector Headlights 03-05 Neon - Lights & Bulbs

I'm looking for equal light output as the OEM / Stock headlights. Will the Depo Projectors get the job done for me? With the H7 55 watt bulbs? Will the H7 70 watt bulbs cause any issues?

If not will the "Depo Replacements (non-projector style)" with my stock bulb provide the same light output as the OEM headlights?


Thanks,
Dan

I bought the second set

DEPO Projector Headlights 03-05 Neon - Lights & Bulbs

^that one and ordered a plug and play HID kit for it so it is sure to have better output. Im not positive on this, but I would assume the light output on the projectors with the halogen H7 (what they come with) would be equal to or better than the OEM's. Or you could pick up the DEPO OEM replacement set. You can also get the black housing ones on eBay for about $150 or so if i remember correctly, and they will have just as good light output, but I recommend you reuse your stock gaskets.

I guess the ebay ones are even cheaper.

The Depo projector headlights have a worse output than a stock headlight. Go with the Depo Non-Projector headlights and save yourself the headache of a cheap ass $15 chinese projector that is terrible.
