The depo's use a projector lens, so they are better suited for HID bulbs. That makes them much brighter. Even with the H7 bulb they come with, the depo's outperform the supercraptastic OEM C5 lenses.

Yea I was reffering to my depo's as being the frog eyes. But yes a whole lot better light output than stock! I would really recommend going with hid bulbs while your lights are out and they are a lot brighter than halogens.

Your right. I was thinking back to the 99 3000gt which did have different headlights than the previous fixed lights. They had more of a bulge to them.
