I have a set of projector depo lights from uniquestyleracing. They have been fine for me. I recently swapped my halogen H1 bulbs for an LED bulb and it\u2019s plenty bright at night.
Unless you are in love with those headlights, I'd go with some smileys, I installed the Depo reps.
I had the same issue on one front light for my cayenne 2016. I am not a handy man and got advised from my mechanic that I replaced it, got replaced for 9000 dirhams for a used one and perfect since then. I didn\u2019t bother fixing, it had a hole in the silicon.
Best option would be to get some capa certified headlights from depo on rockauto
Either Depo or TYC from rock auto will give you OEM look and performance without the OEM price. I replaced my headlights and corner lights with these 2 brands over a year and a half ago with no moisture or fitment issues.
I ran Depos on a 97 M3 for a while, much better than the condition of the headlights when I bought the car, middle of the road for me and I have horrible night vision.
I\u2019ve had Depo for 4 years now, on a car kept outside. Mine have not leaked at all, but the lenses have started to fade. I\u2019m about to restore them soon.
Depos are junk, they yellow and get water inside them anytime you wash your car.
Performance and reliability per dollar isn’t good. The turbo is the coolest looking trim in the 996 gen, but i really don’t like the headlights.
Have the same issue in a brand new cayenne. They said the problem is that I live in an area with humid weather and that they cant replicate the issue in the workshop and wont replace them. From what I have heard and read so far, it seems it is an issue with Porsche headlights.
