W126 Euro Lights- swap for W123s?

I visited my favorite upullit a few days back and snatched a pair of W126 euro headlights (these are Bosch, with ports for vacuum adjust). Only problem is one (passenger side ) has a BB hole in it, But that can be fixed for about $40 (new lens available at importspecialistsofamerica.com and others). When I went to pay for the lights I was somewhat unpleasantly surprised at the price, considering I would have another $40 ahead of me to make them right.

Since this yard has a 30 day no-hassle return policy, what the hey, I bought them and decided to figure out what to do with them. (They might end up getting them back- to be crushed if I can't think of anything better)

I don't have a W126 , and my prospects for getting one at this point are pretty slim.

I could always hawk them on ebay, but I thought I would toss them out here first to see if anyone has a set of W123 euros that they would like to swap. Or a cheap passenger side lens. Or...?
