I bought Hella conversion headlights for the former W123 on Amazon. The seller 
was selling versions that were made in India, and were RHD headlights. When I 
got mine I realized it immediately, returned them, and notified Amazon that 
this seller was selling non-DOT compliant headlights.

Of course they didn’t take the seller’s offerings down. I found another seller 
that was offering the correct headlights and got them from them.

I just wonder how many people are driving around here with their Hella 
conversion headlights and blinding oncoming drivers….
