Hiya Uncle Oleseahorse,

Welp, I was also hoping others would provide their experience of headlight assembly replacement.

Like how folks are raving about exact e-code replacement with an excellent beam pattern and ability to use a higher wattage headlamp or something. I dunno up close. I know the US-DOT lenses cast an awful beam pattern, yet that what's there in the 240s.

I was a little concerned for a moment. Their had been complaints of made in Estonia taillights for RWD Volvo that used something like butyl tape to adhere the different color lenses to the reflector body. My confusion on the Baltic states as Latvija is not Estonija.

I did fine the DEPO manufacturer as residing in Taiwan.

Try a web search for:

DEPO headlight quality

or

DEPO headlight review

I'll guess the lenses are polycarbonate plastic? Or are they glass?

I've not ever bought replacements. Refurbed what was old or got factory used from the yunkyard to refurb.

Hope that helps,

KGV.
