**New Depo P90 v2 headlights**

I just finished installing my new Depo P90 v2 headlights today. They're the ones that are made to look a little more like the LCI headlights. I was under the assumption that I wouldn't have any errors with these, but I'm still getting one. Any ideas? I was told that Depo fixed all the error problems with version 2.

EDIT: I added some pics for you guys to see. They look absolutely amazing. The only complaint I have so far is that stupid headlight error whenever the car turns on or off. I know I need a canceller, I just don't know which one/anything about them. Also, I bought them off of eBay from fishcake.

Any idea where I can get them? I know they have a module at **********s that is for the first version P90s. Would that work for the v2s?

Fishcake is well known in the G-Class forums for headlight retrofits, seems legit.

I have the same depo headlights with xenon. I had an error during winter time. When the temperature got below 12 degrees celcius i got a 'front headlight broken' warning

Now in the summertime its error/warning free

This set of depo lights will still give you the warning of one of the headlights is broken. When you put a canceller in, it wont do that any more

So where did you get your cancellers from? I just want to make sure to buy the right ones.

I dont have the cancellers, because i only have the problem during cold days. There is a canceller in my xenon starter, but that obviously doesnt work in cold days.


As long as it's only during cold days it doesnt matter very much to me.

They have a bluish purple hint to them but for the most part look white. You only notice the blue in them during the day. At night they're so bright white it's ridiculous! The guy I ordered them from said they have the bluish purple color to match the xenon color. I don't know how well it matches though since I didn't order the xenon conversion kit.

It's true they don't have the perfect OEM look, but then again they're about $1,500 cheaper too. I'll take that any day.

Anyone have an idea if you can install an HID kit for the lowbeams on these headlights? With no errors of course =)
