Default projector headlights

has anyone installed DEPO projector headlights on their C5? I'm considering it and wanted to learn from your experiences good and bad. Thanks!

The Depo lights are notorious for their "frog-eye" Appearance, difficult installation where removing the bumper is recommended if not completely necessary.

In addition, the type of plastic used in the lenses spontaneously develops spider cracks when exposed to sunlight over time.

The only redeeming quality of these lights are that they have projector optics, but so do several other lights.

Hey, I'd argue that your link is the most damning one you could find on the topic... anyway, there's tons of info out there. You can find out way more info that way than waiting for posts to trickle in.
