Some of those brands do not have the vacuum adjusters, if that's important to you.

The fog lights were white on all three Euro headlight sets I've bought.

The Depos you see offered on eBay (and elsewhere) are decent units but the quality isn't the same as the Hella or Bosch OEM units. When you compare the price of the Depos with the $550 or so a set of Bosch units will cost, the Depos look pretty good.

While it may be possible, it depends on what your local parts warehouse stocks. Depo and other aftermarket part makers cater to the bodyshop industry, providing cheaper trim and lighting parts for collision repairs. As a result, you'll find that local warehouses will stock the parts for cars sold in North America, not the european versions.
