I’ll get depos eventually for this car but the lenses are too clean on this set to replace

Stupid bright

 

Looks bright...
which ones you running... lights & fogs?

 

Curious as to the Depo Brand, and why it preferred in multiple threads. Is that because of the black bezels, reputation for quality or fit... or a name simply used as a descriptor such as in Kleenex for tissue?

I've replaced many OEM and Non-OEM lenses, 5 in HHR's and don't recall the brand off-hand but always had great success. Most recent was a black bezel set for HHR SS. Never went for the lowest cost, but also haven't had a fit or finish problem.

 

Depo is a brand name, most popular because of the blacked out look instead of bright chrome. If you like black chrome then find headlights for the B2E option a special edition Chevrolet released

 

they’re the same as oem but with black housings. They look good and they don’t scatter light. I prefer my projectors to just a bulb swap tho

I think the word Depo can be found on many style of headlights.
Couple of years ago I ordered 2 headlight assemblies for my wife's Hyundai Tucson. Ordered the standard OEM style replacements. When they arrived, that's exactly what they were and looked identical to the originals, even down to the molded on marking numbers. Silver inside, not blacked out.
But, in big bold letters on the boxes..... DEPO. And small writing that said Made in China.

 

That's what I was concluding, good quality product but basically the same as other good quality lenses. The black set that I installed look identical and price about the same.

I'd agree, the black bezels give a huge improvement for various models. Dark colors; black, red... if lacking shinig chrome (grill, handles, etc) particularly look good with black headlights. A shinnny chrome or mesh grill looks good work bright chrome lenses... IMO.
