IIRC the lighter sockets of the W114/W115, like old American iron, are fairly 
deep
when compared to the newer cars like R107+.  The lighter socket hardware, like 
seat
belts, are 100% American in origin, but have been drifting.  The _power_ 
sockets,
though, I believe retain the original depth.

The very best retention is of the plugs that have a molded ridge in the nose 
that
actually is gripped by the lighter socket's thermostatic release clip.  Those 
are
few and far between, though.
