They appear to be very similar to the Unity ones in the middle portion from the photos I've seen.

That is weird. They now look just like Unity.

For comparison, here are mine:

looks awesome. I'm curious as well as those look very much like the Unity ones.

I was just comparing the part numbers on yours snwmble to mine. The last 2 digits are different: yours is "2S" and mine is "VS". I wonder if that's the differentiating factor.

I ordered mine off eBay from "bid4speedster" and the shipping address and images link back to https://www.uniquestyleracingstore.com.

interesting....im guessing its just 2 options depo offers....similar to how most of these other sidemarker manufacturers come in either chrome or smoke.

Interesting. I bought another set of the Depo's a few days ago. This time, with the white LED. I'll see if the design has changed as my amber set looked similar to gtman's.

Mine just arrived today, white LED Depo's. Nothing has changed since the last time I purchased them. For what it's worth, I always buy Depo products from ebay seller "neondials". I also think it's interesting that "bid4speedster" has the amber LED version available when they are on nationwide backorder and you can't even source them from USR/Depo themselves. The lamps WRCanuck posted definitely appear to be closer to Unity than Depo. The connection type would be the dead giveaway on product difference between Unity and Depo as the Depo's include a socket/connector combo which is sealed unless twisted open by the end user. The Unity's have a 194/168 style bulb connector with wires coming directly off of the LED's protruding from the housing.

The box mine arrived in:

Looks awesome man. I've had the Unity and the Depo version. I think the Depo's are even better quality and I prefer the connection setup and the darker tint.

I also bought mine from neondials.

I can verify that mine have the socket/connector combo. I didn’t get a photo of the back of them before install, but it is that style. I even twisted the socket on one just to see what was behind it.

Understood. Your part number variance totally lets me know yours are different in some sense. Very, very interesting.

Thanks to this thread, I bought a set last week and received them yesterday. Depo quality is always good (I remember the amber corners for my 5th gen Civic). Really, really happy with them.

I noticed the ones I bought have a more prominent reflector in the middle, but I really like it. They appear to be very similar to the Unity ones in the middle portion from the photos I've seen.

Thanks again for sharing these!

Thanks for the pictures, I definitely like the VS one better.
