123 taillights with fog lamps wired into driving circut F/S

Among some other things on E-bay I have listed are a set of 123 taillights that have the fog lamps wired into the driving lights. For pictures and information go here:

Thank you

They actually aren't as bright as the picture makes them look - I have always thought the back end of these cars are too dimly lit compared to some of the newer cars. This was my solution.

Interesting concept, although I think I'd prefer to have the lights either come on as the fog lights they're supposed to be or have them come on with the brakes.

If you don't want to answer, I can understand, but how did you put the socket in? On my 123, the metal plate doesn't go that far...

On these lights there was a spot for the socket- I just popped in a spare and soldered it to the driving light circuit. If anybody out there wants them to come on with the brakes I can make them do that instead - -

And if anybody has any other questions do not be afraid to ask. I'm not here to keep things secret, and after all this is mercedesshop. If I was trying to make money off of these things I wouldn’t be advertising them here would I?
