Re: [diesel_mercedes] Care and feeding of my yellow fog lamps

 

To turn on the fog lights, you turn the light switch to the parking light position, then PULL the headlight switch out.  Not sure about '82s, but the earlier cars (the 108s, anyway) would not allow the fog lights to be on when the headlights were on.  The switch would pop back in whenever it was in the headlight or "0" positions.  The whole point of fog lights was to get illumination without having the light from the headlights reflecting off the fog or snow back at you.  (I've been in snowstorms at night around here when it was actually easier to see the road ahead with the headlights turned OFF!)

As for a source for replacement elements, autohausaz.com shows this one:

Oh how I hate to look stupid.

How do I turn my fog light on? I have a 1982 turbo coupe 123 that I have owned for way too long not knowing how to light my yellow fog lamps. And...once I know how to light them, what if they don'
t work? I will assume they are special and hard to find a source?

All right, now I have said it and it is out there for the world to have at.

Thanks for helping the slow and needy.
