300TD lower rear reverse light bulbs
One of the rear lower reverse bulbs (in the bumper) on my 1985 300TD (wagon) has burnt out. Its a clear P21W bulb.
Trips to multipule auto stores yield only amber P21W bulbs. Same size (different color) is used for turn signals. Where do the wagon owners get their clear bulbs?

Just got some - they work fine.
Used lots of degreaser on the plastic covers. That funk was nasty. Thanks

Are those the 50W bulbs that go into single contact round sockets? My friend has them on his 190e, pretty darn white and bright! Not for my w123 though, I prefer the yellow/standard halogen look than the white.

TD reverse bulbs are not the same as sedans. TD reverse bulbs look like dome light bulbs, only smaller.
I used DE3423 bulbs (box branded by Lighting Technologies) from Autozone.

Neither are mine. Those dome light bulbs are what, just 10W at the most?

Sorry - I think I had a little too much eggnog when I wrote that. The DE3423 are for the license plate lamps - the reverse bulb is a single filament bayonet. D'OH.

What about replacing the whole reverse light ass. all together. My wifes car had 2 beautiful lenses. Now they are cracked from backing into things. Anyone have suggestions on an assembly that will fit in there without protruding?
