The original US W140 headlights used central yellow fog lights. Your '95 has the 'face lifted' headlights that drop the center yellow fog in favor of an H7 (I believe) fog mounted under the low beam unit. The central location vacated by the yellow fogs house the auxiliary high beams on your car. There were no lighting options for the W140 until the Xenon units were made available in '97.

Seems like another retro mod in the works for me. I swapped the semi-clear corners for full ambers because I like the contrast.

FWIW... w126 in France had to have yellow foglights. It was mandatory. They had a yellow piece of glass right behind the headlight lens.
