HeadlightsDepot is the seller but they did (at least when I ordered mine 2 years ago) carry Depo brand headlights.
Rock Auto also sells the Depo headlights. If you wait for a sale, you can usually get a set of the Sport headlights from Bell Lexus for under $500.
Depos are nice but not OEM good. The coating on mine starting peeling around the time they were 5 years old. I rolled the dice and replaced the lenses on them to find the plastic in most of the housing had deteriorated quite a bit. I'd honestly give them a 5 to 6 year max lifespan; maybe more if the vehicle is garage kept. I'll likely splurge on a set of OEM headlights in the next couple of years.
Good info above, thx for the responses. I guess ~ 6 yrs old is probably ok since I highly doubt I keep it more than 2 more years. The paint around the headlights is now starting to peel rapidly so I need to either have it resprayed or have colored PPF installed over it, along with the area above the windshield. In the past year it's finally starting to peel. FYI I've repolished the headlights successfully 3 times over the past ~ 8 years but they wouldn't buff clear this time ... I guess they finally had enough.
