I ran into this same problem. The solution is to drill a hole a new hole in the bracket so that it mounts to the car correctly.
That's what I ended up doing. I attached the bracket to the car, put the headlight in, marked where the headlight mount hole was on the bracket and drilled in a nice big slot. Worked well.
If not Bosch/Hella then Depo/TYC.
I have TYC in the one 300SD, Depo in the 420SEL, 300D and 190E. Very pleased with them.
I did catch a rock in the 300D on the highway and it cracked my passenger lens right on the edge. Its mostly covered up by the grill.
I do have a pair of oem euros I plan on putting on it eventually. One is Bosch, the other Hella.
