Depos are ok. I have heard too many wiring issues. If you can afford OEM ones, I'd go that route.

Esuse > Depo.

Depo lights are known for wiring and leak issues. I tossed mine after a ground bolt broke.

I dont' know about Dubai, but here in the US the '99-'00 OEM foglights are still for sale from Honda and they're not that expensive.

I got genuine OEM foglights for $131 shipped from http://www.handaaccessories.com.

If you can afford OEM, get them. You won't regret it. I haven't had any issues AT ALL and I've had mine for about 8 months now.

On top of that, I re-wired the OEM harness to get the foglights to turn on with parking lights. Then got PIAA h3 Ion Crystal yellow bulbs. Bright as all hell.

OEM &gt; Depo, Esuse? etc.

I had 2 friends that bought Depo foglights and both had wiring issues. Nothing serious but it just takes some time to figure out what goes where, a bit of "customizing" I guess you could say. With OEM, its complete plug n play.

Use yellow bulbs instead of yellow coated lenses. Besides, PIAA H3 Ion Crystal's are amazing bulbs. And, OEM &gt; all. If you REALLY want the yellow lenses, you can just paint the OEM lenses. Or lamin-x them. Atleast you'll know you have the OEM quality and that you can trust it. Instead of buying yellow tinted DEPO ones that will most likely leak or have wiring issues.

this is very tru and i thought the oem ones cost 200 wow 130 isnt bad at all but i have to find them somewhere else cuz they are all out on that site but u think if i throw those bulbs in they will still be bright yellow?
