Hello,

A fog lamp on my '72 220 Diesel recently fell victim to a flying rock on the road. The lens is badly cracked and I am looking for a replacement.

The rest of the assembly (bulb socket, etc) is in poor shape and does not work reliably, so I'd like to find a replacement for the whole thing. I don't care if there's some rust on the reflector, I only care if it works.

It takes an H3 halogen bulb.

Thanks!

They WILL have them but @ a retail price.

Unfortunately the link you posted didn't work. Does anybody have any of these old HELLA fogs laying around? I'm willing to buy one at a reasonable price - even with a tarnished or moderately rusty reflector. Just needs to take an H3 bulb and have a good lens.

You might check with Tim Kraakevik.

He posts on this board. He has an ad over in the "Used Parts" section. He had a bunch of W114-115 parts for sale.

He still has a couple fogs with unbroken glass. One looks like a Bosch, the other's a Hella.

Happy Motoring, Mark

I very much doubt they will have ones that match the original.

Anyone who says you can by this new I believe to be mistaken. It's remotely possible that there might be lenses somewhere NOS, but I really doubt it. When you find one if it's cheap you will be damn lucky, as these have been snapped up for a variety of different purposes. They are really nice lights and people use them on things more interesting than a W114.

I have a box of foglight parts, I don't know if I have the late style (H3 bulb) with a good lens. I'll try and look. In the meantime I would scour ebay if I were you.

Good news! I was able to purchase a new lens and reflector/bulb holder assembly from Tim Kraakevik. The parts arrived in the mail today, and I installed them on my vehicle.

I also 'rejuvinated' the rusty parts of the fog lamp reflectors with some aluminum foil tape, which brightened up the lights quite a bit!

Now, both fog lamps work properly with no broken lenses.

That's neat. It's always nice when someone is willing to share NLA NOS parts.
