To the OP, I don't know of any drop-in LED replacement for H4/H3 that works properly in a conventional headlight. I went through this last year with my MKIV Golf. After hours of research and reading posts by folks who tried to use the LEDs in the stock VW housing, I finally opted for a projector retrofit (that I am very happy with).

This type of conversion is pretty common now. There's no cutting, no glueing. The projector is designed to mount inside a conventional reflector. |
tjts1, who is making projector
retrofit kits like that for a W123?
For better lighting, I put a pair of e-code hella replacements in my former W123. Definitely worth the price and the improvement in visibility was stunning:

There are 7" round drop in projectors made by Truck Tek. But I don't have any personal experience with them. They will look out of place on a W123 imo.
