I like them but I and many other got this headlight early on this year and they went to **** with stress cracks. Can you guys assure us that this of headlight is good to go? Or are we going to have the same problems as last time?

Yea the same with me.
But you can always change the lens with stock lenses when they crack.

We have not heard of any issues with these.

I have to warn users though, we do not recommend using HID kits with a lot of aftermarket headlights because they produce incredible heat which could cause problems like what you mentioned.

Otherwise, they have a 1 year warranty, and out of all of the manufacturers out there who make projector lights, I can imagine that DEPO will be one of the best quality options out there.

Furthermore, DEPO is probably one of the few, if any that offer any warranty on their lights versus the other manufacturers.

I got some 4th gens and after a month with the halogens I got stress cracks almost everywhere. everyone says get HID's and that won't happen. Still wish I would have found a chrome set on ebay when I bought mine! they look wicked!

pretty sure all gen 4's will be prone to stress cracks. I believe there is only 1 manufacturer actually assembling and building the lights and unless they design a new lens, these will do the same as the other lenses and crack. But thats not a big deal because I would just purchase the lights, and take your OEM lenses and put them onto these. They will fit, since they all have to fit in the stock headlight hole. Not hard to do and a much better end product. But HID's run cooler and shouldnt be the cause of the cracks, but the cheap crappy plastic lens instead. All aftermarket cobalt lights have this problem

I'll likely still get the Gen 4's because they are the style that i like the most.
And if they crack just try to get them replaced under the 1 year warenty.
If not then i'll just swap the lenses with stockers.

So if you put in HID's that actually run COOLER you dont have warranty? Epic fail

I'm officially supporting what he just said. Only with less words and more class than "x2"
