Greg,
The European headlights for the 126 include a single Hi-Lo bucket and a driving light bucket. The driving light buckets, which are turned on by the "pull" function of the light switch, spread a WIDE beam that reaches both sides of the road. This is in addition to the headlights.
I use the driving lights both on mountain roads, where they provide a wonderful illumination to the roadsides, and in the city, particularly on narrow residential streets, where they provide a good illumination of people standing between parked cars, so you can avoid them when they stagger into the street.
You can get the Euro headlights on Ebay and if you're lucky at a local p-a-p yard.

I hit a deer one night as she strolled from the no. 1 lane to the no. 2 on a four lane highway. I was doing 60 and had just enough time to take my foot off the gas (diesel?) when we collided. 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?
Thanks,
Greg
