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

 

Chip, 
 
    I'm not sure on the 123, but on the 126, you turn the headlight switch to the headlights 'on' position, and then pull the switch out from the dashboard.  There is a pull-on / push-off position for the driving lights. 
 
    Also, if you have the Euro version, the headlight switch center rail should be straight up and down when in the 'off' position.  From that position, there should be two COUNTER clockwise positions. 
 
    The first position will light the right side front and rear marker lights.  The second position lights the left side marker lights.  This is because in Europe, cars parked in the first spot from an intersection are supposed to have their lane-side marker lights left on over night, for safety.  You can see this feature in films when there is action on a street at night. 
 
    It's not a bad idea, when parking in dark lots or driveways, when you expect other traffic.  I use it frequently in L.A.

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.
