They look just like mine, are they different than others.

the 240TD's are eurospec

How do they look different, I don't see any difference, do they not stick out from the car as much?

I like the 240TD's too, I was drooling over one on ebay a while back.

Nice brickwork.

Very common in the Euro models.

just out of curiousity, do the USA cars not have rear fog lamps? my 240D has them, and when i was trying to turn them on in my 300D i relized it didnt have any. is that just a euro thing? also my 240D(euro) has the clear front fogs also. its nice at night case when u turn the brights on, the fogs still stay on

The Euro W123 wagons have a rear fog light on the left and a back-up light on the right. The Euro lights are larger than the US spec back-up lights and won't fit into the US bumpers. They are also not DOT approved so must be for off road use only. The rear fog light works by pulling the light switch out two clicks. This also illuminates the little orange center in the light switch to remind you that the rear fog light is on.

Boostnbenz has a DIY thread that tells how to switch leads in the fuse box so the fogs will come on with just the running lights or the low beams.
