Default DEPO style head lights?

I've got a very noisy head light motor on the new ride, and am looking at alternatives.

I've come across the DEPO lights, and am wondering if anyone has tried them or heard any feedback?

I saw a C5 about 4 years ago that head recessed headlights and a smooth lexan piece (smooth as it in matched the shap of the headlight covers that come stock), but can't seem to find anything but the "bumpy style". I'm starting to question my memory Anyone seen, heard, or otherwise know anything about a set like that?

I love my DEPO lights. These are the HID version.



You can get them here, without the Corvette Tax.

Depos are the least expensive. I don't have any experience with them. Some folks here really like them. Others have had problems with the lenses cracking.

Spectre werks makes some nice ones but they are pricey.

Breathless performance does too, again pricey.

There are probably others that I forgot to mention.

BTW I had the pricey Specter Werks lights before the DEPO's. The Depo's are 1/3rd the price and IMHO a better product.
That said Specter Werks has great customer service.

If you like the looks of the depos, then the price is right. The install isn't that big of a deal...easier to do with the front bumper off. The hard part is getting them aligned properly so that the gaps around them are even. I used them for a summer and now they are sitting in a box in my garage
