what do u mean compare? OEM>replica simple as that. I have not had a set of the DEPO LEDs but I have read about them not fitting as well, needing to modify the plugs for the bulb and also the LEDs being brighter on one side then the other.

The depots dont fit perfect and are not as bright. More chance of burning LED's. However as far as any NON OEM light, the depot is the best you can get.

I used to have Depot LED tails for my GE and the only complaint that the seams were not very flattering IMO - you can see them through the lens and they are not very clean. It appears that they are hot melted(?) and you can see it if you look closely. I haven't seen the OEM LEDs yet, but I would assume the seams would be cleaner. Also, if you look closely at the satin silver, you can see that there are some areas where they didnt spray enough paint.

This might be just specific to the ones that I received.

All in all, they are nice for the $$$

I do have to say though as far as aftermarket lights out there DEPO does make a very good product.

They aren't perfect, but nobody, including yourself (unless you are super anal) are going to notice or care. I think they are fantastic, and having the lights up a little higher, and brighter is great. They way they cut on is more arresting, and grabs attention.
