I had Depos on my civic they were really good.
The n1s are not DOT stamped. So if these are stampedthen they are really Depos.

I have the Depo's.The fit and finish are good for the price.They just don't fit flush to the car and I had to reeaallyy stretch the wiring out to make the bulb's go in the socket's.You should go with the OEM if you can afford to,but the Depo's are a pretty good second.

These wouldn't be DOT approved in Canada, they have no side reflector. Still, nice that another company is offering a tail light.

Depo has been making these lights for quite a while now.

If you check the Aussie Jazz boards, you'll see that a lot of people get them.

Also, they still have no reflector/light on the side of the housing so if you look at your car from the side you will see little to no light emitting from the rear

yea i still say you get what you pay for. think of it like this, you spent 100 on n1 lights then you buy these ones that are better but they have different problems and you eventually get sick of the problems, you are going to wish you just bought the HOP ones in the first place.
