Don't necessarily blame MB, VW or Audi for the crappy lights of this period. In Europe their lights on the same models were fine. The problem was the outdated laws at the time that had been requiring sealed beams. Once Ford worked so hard to get that ridiculous law repealed, it took a while for them to work through the unclear lighting rules that replaced them. I have to give the makers a little slack. It was tough for them to work through the new laws.
