I will second that -- the DEPOs I got for my old 300D were a vast
improvment over the DOT ones. Might even have been able to avoid the
damned wood rodent that caused me to get new headlights in the first
place.
May not last as long or be as sturdy as Hella or Bosch, but they work
just fine and have the level adjuster if you want to go to the
trouble of getting the replacement bezel for the headlight switch and
adjuster wheel and running some vac lines.

Anyway - I was thinking about a pair of european headlights for my
1991 300D W124. Although they look better I believe the lights
provide better lighting also.
They definitely look better and have a MUCH better beam pattern!
Since the US beam pattern is so horrible, I wouldn't worry about
spending the $500 for a pair of "proper" Bosch or Hella euro
headlights from Rusty. Instead, check out eBay and get TYC or Depo
brand headlights. They are probably 90% of the headlight, but at
50% the price. I have the ones below on my 2.5T, and they work
great. One thing though, do plan on buying new H4s from Rusty,
since the "blue" bulbs that come with those lights look horrible
and are dim.
