Look at the backs. One looks like Bosch/hella and the other looks like cheap chinese.... depo.
I have depos on the wifes car and Bosch on my w123. There is a noticeable difference in the sharpness of the cut off. It why I held out for OE instead for my w124.

I've noticed the same thing... the depo's work ok. They're better then the DOT lights and on a daily driver they're an acceptable upgrade... good bang for your buck. But they do not match the optical quality or precise fitment of the original spec fixtures.
I paid almost 3x the cost of new depos for a set of excellent used Bosch lights. Was it worth it? I wouldn't say the performance is 3x better. But I'm a lighting nerd so it makes me happy. -J

Here's a reasonable comparison between factory Cibie and aftermarket DJ Auto lights on a Volvo 240. http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~ridgely/e-code-comp.htm
That comparison is applicable to the depot lights I've seen.

I paid $150 for mine, shipped
I love a good deal. They are going in this weekend. Not sure what I am going to do about the wipers. I love the wiper look but getting a hold of the proper blanks is not so easy.That is a good link btw thanks! And seems pretty much spot on. I know that when I drive with my w123 with the brights on its like landing a plane.

The 260E and E320 came with blanks, unless the car had the OPTIONAL wipers. The dealer should have the blanks.

If this was your sale, I am sorry I did not mean to jump all over them. I do now see that the interior is different colored. I was referring to the wiring in the back. The one with the red/white is not oem.
