I've always liked and saving my mula for the insurance led's. I like the way they look lid up compared to the depo one's that every one is buying off ebay.

Looks the same as DEPO, i think the only difference is the angle the shot was taken at. When you look at the tails from different angles the light diffuses a bit because of the housing..

No the lighting arangement is a bit different,



I choose the DEPOs because I thought they were kinda 'fresher' lol, and you may not see it on the pic here but they have 3 LEDs on the side pointing outward which is really cool. But I would've been happy with either brand honestly.

Yup, but I believe the insurance one's have more led's and are brighter, plus i think you don't have to worry about the resistor's overheating

I drive 300 miles a day with the DEPO lights with them on all day and I haven't run into any problems with the resistors.
