I've owned Depo, ESUSE, and Honda. The differences in wiring and quality are crystal clear to me.

DEPO are prone to leakage, water getting into the lense, etc... OEM ones will not have any of those problems.

i removed the loom from my password fogs when i was doing a wire tuck. All of the connections were twisted together and then wrapped with elec tape. No wire caps, no splices.

Now my power wire fuse has melted inside the fuse holder and has caused them to intermittantly not work

just get OEM Raybrig fogs at http://www.handaaccessories.com for 129 bucks and then color the lens yellow.

OEM quality and fitment assured.

Theres not really a difference in the DEPO and OEM. Owned the Depo for a year and they are holding up.

The quality just isn't there. DEPO isn't bad, but it's not up to par with the quality of OEM, sorry.
