I developed this tickle in my throat last Thursday....and this morning at 2:00ish am it decided to break into a full cough. When I got up for the 4th time, came downstairs, garggled with warm salt water, and got on the Forum. Fell asleep on the couch at 4ish am and wife & dog woke me up at 5ish am.

So, I'm coughing on about 1 hour of sleep since 2am this morning ...... Naturally, I went to work today. I did manage to keep my cool today (unlike yesterday) and tell my boss and his boss that we should ignore the last email from the consultants. It's too distracting to keep up the email toss back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth.

Scotch or Nyquil. Either will sooth your throat and cough and let you sleep.

Scotch tastes better.

I wish I could find a JY close enough to me with 123's. Then I'd like to have the ability to spend some quality time in one.

Ok--which wire do i splice into and where do I run it to-the car has the ebay plug ends you seefor doing the spap to euros-all headlight wires go into the plugs.

The grey wire with the red stripe is the wire used for city lights or for running lights in the turn signal. Splice that wire and then match the position of the wires in the plug in the pic that jt20 attached earlier in this thread.

I need two shorty lug bolts for my 1999 16" CLK wheels. Two of mine are galled and I don't really want to have to buy a complete set from RAD.

A pair of reading lights from a 116 or 126 to install in my wagon's C pillars.

I'd also like to get metal oil caps for both my 123s. You can only buy the black plastic ones these days.

The only other thing I can think of would be the plastic trim that goes around the seat back nets for my CD. Color wouldn't even matter since I have SEM color coat. The one on my passenger seat is broken and the PO lost some of the pieces so I can't fix it.

A dream find would be a rust free hatch in Borolo Red.

I don't really need much. I used to go to junk yards all the time when I was younger. I'm just happy I can fit in time to work on my diesels now that I have two toddlers.

THANKS!!

I have wanted them ever since I saw Jeremy's polished valve cover with the polished cap.

I don't know about this. Its much too nice to put on an engine.... perhaps you could make a watch out of it instead?

Interesting idea.

Splice that wire and then match the position of the wires in the plug in the pic that jt20 attached earlier in this thread.

Well you said to splice the particular wire running to these plugs( side markers) but they have to then go to the headlight harness plug to power the inner driving lights! ? ! ? !!! please gont give up--many many need to know this answer.

I thought you had the euro headlights with city lights hooked up already and didn't have the turn signal running lights.

If you have the running lights, splice the grey wire with the red stripe and then run the added wire to position 58 in this diagram:

I got those pics from dieselbenz' DIY:
