Although DEPO are the best in aftermarket headlights when compared to Sonar and other junk, they still do not perform as well as the original from HELLA. You will fight with different error messages at random, and aftermarket ballasts like to burn out the bulbs. That is the experience I have had, and I know I'm not alone. Goodluck
This head light made by DEPO are junk

I just sent them back to the manufacturer, I wasn't having any luck with the ballasts. I did find that the overall quality and look of the housing was great, they were very sturdy and did not collect condensation of fog up while they were installed through some hefty rainstorms and a few car washes. The reason I praise the housing quality, is because i read that a few people were able to alter them and use all the stock components (leveling motor, bulb and ballast). Unfortunately, i am not so handy.

The misshaped AE's were a product of the retailer i got them from, that was an issue he was going to fix as he received the correct size rings. Eh, the chance passed and he is getting the complete set up back since they did not work properly on my car.

Long story short, they did not work for me, but they did for others after complete electonic overhauls

He has stated several times that he is using a French keyboard and that caps lock is required to type numbers.

I understand it annoys a lot of you, so please place him on your ignore list instead of continuing to request he turn it off.

Thank you.

Lebanon, France ? Huh, I heard of Lebanon, Texas, but not the one in France. Cool.

You only need to use the Shift key to get to the numbers. As an alternative, many French (AZERTY) keyboard users type numbers on the numeric keypad. Possibly, the OP doesn't know about these techniques. However, look at the posts in this thread and others where he has not typed numbers but mixes uppercase phrases with lowercase or types in all caps.

Thai headlights are not very big. I've found they have excellent tail lights though.
