Thumbs down DEPO taillights = crap

Have been trying to figure out why my right tallight looks like crap next to my left tallight. Turns out it wasn't the wiring or the bulbs, it was the taillight manufacturer DEPO. The left is OEM Toyota. The light spread on the DEPO is messed up because the bulb does not go far enough into the assembly, and kills the output.

Just an FYI for the archives. Now on to eBay to find a TOYOTA taillight!

That's good to know. If someone does a search in the future (imagine if you can), at least they will know better beforehand.

The lights are overly expensive, perform moderately, and break easily. Unlike the body of the car.
