DEPO makes a very good aftermarket replacement for OEM products. I am always hesitant to claim they are the same as OEM especially on a forum. The (2) areas that I would say are different are the projectors (mentioned previously) and the actual lens it self. The fitment is also good, but probably a bit better with OEM. Since all the internal connections and bulbs are the same and not necessarily replaced when replacing the headlight, you should not notice a HUGE difference. It is just hard for me to believe these units at $150 ea. are the same quality as a $750 ea. OEM unit. In my experience, I would say you GWYPF. I am very happy with them as they are a huge improvement over the foggy and faded OEM set that came with the truck. I never tested the output of the OEM set, so I can't say what the difference is. I would be willing to take a pic when it gets better out so I can compare with someone's OEM set. I also have my OEM set still.

Bumping this thread to ask, how difficult is replacing a headlight? Is it just the usual screws and tabs or is there anything more involved? My lenses are pretty oxidized and yellowed... going to give polishing a shot, but it looks to me like they've yellowed from the inside.
