Not a chance!
The problem with the DOT headlights is the reflector design, compounded by the fog that collects on the insides of the lenses.
I just stopped and put the reflector/lens assembly off my brother's W126 on tonight -- I'd put a bulb in, and guess what, it rained. Pop, another $8 down the drain....
The W126 lens fits right in after I moved a clip. Aim is, well, somewhat off (no high beams, points right at the other side of the road!), but my oh my, there's LIGHT out there! Looks pretty strange, but at least I have a headlamp on that side now!
The W124 DOT lens design has got to be a low point for MB -- its terrible!
HID won't help much, either -- plenty of light comes out with no lens on there, just in a concentrated beam with next to no spread (and a big dark spot, too!) -- has to the be lens.
