Cool hit deer, new headlights

so as most of you know i hit a deer with my car a few weeks ago and the body shop fucked up and gave me a shitty scratched up headlight.
the body shop pretty much told me they wrote up for a used headlight and they cant find a nicer used one, so my options are, they take the 200$ they wrote up for and buy a new headlight for 450$ or i take the 200$ and upgrade to clear corners. obviously i am going to upgrade. i am going to buy a pair off ECS and i just have a few questions.

what is the difference between Depo, European spec and U.S. spec?

what does everyone think about these Depo's?

why are the eurospec so much more expensive? they look the same, is the quality alot worse with the depo's?

thanks guys im getting my car back tomorrow, can't wait to drive her again!

depos - cheap version of eursopecs.
quailty is what you pay for its fine for most people who arnt ****. the cutoff of the lights is much "sharper" with the oem versions. to most it doesn't matter. the depos are a good choice.

I've had no complaints with Depos.
