Mr. Hanson:
Thanks for the tip. With its entirely different grill and lights, it never occured to me a coupe's bumper would fit on a sedan. That said, are the lights in a C126's bumper fogs or driving lights? I'd prefer to have light thrown like long pencils down the road rather than the more nebulous cast of a fog light. If they're fogs, do you suppose driving lights could be installed in their place? I'd appreciate your thoughts.
To others concerned about the volume of posts to this forum, I post rarely, but please let me know if I've strayed off the core diesel topic. Should matters be restricted to troubleshooting compression ignition and fuel injection?
My own view is that I'm not bothered by questions about ignition locks, window winders, mpg checks, or occasional travelogues tangentially involving a diesel. The recent, seemingly infinite thread "They Lied!!!" did try my patience, though. I solved that with the delete key on my PC. All in all, I like the variety because I pick up something new of a mechanical nature from time to time.

I'm thinking of adding driving lights to my W126 diesel. Has anyone mounted aftermarket lights? If so, what's the optimal location and are you satisfied with the results?
