Not sure if we're talking about the same thing here, but the "dark" part of the Depos is the housing, not the lens. There's not a tint or anything. The fading/peeling is some sort of clear layer that's getting messed up.

Can anyone who has used the Maguire's or any other restorer post your techniques, results, issues?

Less then 6 months old I'd demand a replacement or refund. The chemical coating on aftermarket headlight housings should last at least a few years before any signs of peel or clouding, should last 5+ depending on brand and quality. It seems due to the trend of so many aftermarket automotive parts being made and sold the quality on many items have gone downhill. I planned to grab some of these when I do my body kit and paint job this next spring, maybe I will just go with some new or used factory replacements.

Sorry to bump an older thread but my Depos are doing the same thing, Just at a year of being installed and the coating is delaminating and starting to look bad. Really upset at the poor quality on these.

i have my still new in the house. Going to put a super light layer of tint on them to hopefully stop that.

Just a point; Depo is a wholesaler of automotive electrical parts, not just headlights. Who knows where the headlight you buy comes from?

That's always been my point , Don. These aftermarket products are all very cool looking but will the manufacturer stand up and warranty the product?? So, far I don't think so!!

There's really no way to contact them either. The brand on the headlight is stamped "Depo" but no telling if they have their own manufacturing setup or not.

Depo.com is all I got
