One of the kits what people might consider is:

Morimoto H7 set with XB35 lamp 5k and
harness type (Standalone Can-bus Used to cancel "bulb out" errors)
Did some prep work on the lights tonight by putting silicone sealant across both the top and bottom of the lenses. As I was doing it I could see it was needed and there were gaps that were missed during their initial assembly.

BMC,
Remember that in the factory the sealant is inside the groove so when the lens is set the sealant will flow different directions. So what may look like gaps most likely is where the sealant flowed inward instead of pushing outward. You will notice some pushed out but look inside and you will see the sealant on the inner portion as well.
Then again, additional won't harm anything.

Scroll up (post 287) for a link to the kit I got from TRS and I just took the car through a car wash - some of that was high pressure. I added 2 silica packets in each fixture and made sure the 2 caps on each fixture were tightly closed. I also verified that all the drain plus were on after I used the extra silicone sealant.
As far as the comparison to Ed's LED lights: the LEDs on these Depo are way brighter and do in fact match the 5k bulbs, as others have already noted. I love the fact the LEDS work as DRLs also - no funky wiring needed as it is with Eds.
The adjusting screws also work way better than Ed's for leveling/aiming purposes - more movement per turn and they have a great amount of down AND up play.
Also of note is that the Depo lights use the same size turn signal bulbs (PSY24?) as the stock halogens so the LED signals I had bought from Bold Sport finally saw some use in the Depo housings. Ed's lights use stupid wedge type bulbs for the signals...
Overall I'm very happy with a set up that's $100 less than ED'S and has a number of advantages in design and quality and so far, are moisture proof.
