Welcome to the forum; the search tool is your friend. There is a tremendous amount of information already posted on standard headlights, HID, and Bi-Xenon - you'll want to read most of it before getting into the project.
But for starters, see http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220...ns-not-bi.html for removal instructions. If you need more info, search for contributors Vader55 and Zam2000 here and on BenzWorld.
I have no idea what Depo headlights are - if you want information on them (vice what you currently have), it's best to post a link. If they're identical to what you have already, I guess I'm wondering why you're taking your existing ones out. But I'm not going to search the web trying to speculate why.

just so you know in advance, Depo headlights have a VERY poor reputation
in respect to quality of beam. generally, they are uneven, display hot and
cold spots, and angled segments of beam crossing over another. the only
redeaming quality might be that they look good powered off (possibly
purchased for the projector design), and that they are decently assembled.
it's also possible that they may lend easily to retrofitting, i.e. removing and
tossing the halogen projector as far as you can, and replacing it with an
OEM *quality* projector of similar dimensions. yes, you'd have to add
ballasts and HID bulbs and a little rewiring
