Default Stock headlights are TERRIBLE, Are the DEPO Headlights from MPX any better?

Hi everyone, I just got my srt and the stock headlights suck! my old 1996 volvos headlights were even way better, what is it with Chrysler headlights they all suck, the 1stgen neons, the minivans, you name it..


Anyways, how much BETTER is the light output on the depo headlights that mpx sells? I really dont have the time of money for a HID retro right now..

thanks!

As far as light output on the ground... no they aren't any better. Both headlights are slightly better with HID's in them. When going to HID's I'd really prefer people switch to a projector of some sort as it blocks the stray light from blinding on-coming traffic & is safer for everyone.

If you think chrysler headlights are bad, you should see how bad alot of chevys are. My gf malibu are some of the worst ive ever seen. My suggestion is to save for a retro. Its worth the money.

Save yourself some money and just replace the factory bulbs with silverstar ultras, they make a noticeable improvement in light output.

I would have to disagree, unless you put HID in here is an ouput shot from one projector.
