I've noticed that the 500E has driving lights in the lower air dam. Does anyone know where these lights or similiar one's can be purchased for a 300E.

Those are fog lights. Its driving lights are where normal W124 fog lights are. You theoretically could, but it would cost a ton and be a pain in the ass.

I would have to disagree with DSinger (no hurt feelings). You sould be able to go to the local parts store and get some "fog" lights (and being creative,cutting holes) put them into the air dam. The other option is to buy a new airdam with the holes already cut.
Just my 2 cents

The inner light of the 500E is driving light and the lower one is the fog light. You can always buy the 500E headlight unit but they are expensive when compare to the 300E unit and add fog light to your bumper.

But if you go to a store and buy lights, it looks Mickey Mouse, and not real at all. To do it right, you need a 500E front air dam with those lights and the updated wiring.

Try to replace AMG airdam, fog lights holes are standard, the lights may not!

Does anyone know where to get the AMG airdam?
Trying to make this look as good as possible and stay away from the Mickey Mouse look. If it comes to that I'll just leave it as is.

You say kind of "PUNKISH", does it look like a Mercedes airdam, does it look wild or does it look like something you made fit with some snipping here and there? What I'm looking for is something that looks factory but with cut outs for fog lights, nothing outlandish, just something like the 500E.

The AMG airdam can be purchased at Bekkers for less than $1k or get an Erebuni brand replica at Nopi (www.NOPI.com) good luck!

There is the link for w124s with body kits at a package price, I am sure you can call them for the cost of individual pieces.
