Wiring pictures



This is the old, 4-pin electrical plug for the US-spec headlights.

Note the position of each color-coded wire. The red arrow points to the top position of the plug, this is where the 'blank" guiding pin is located. This is the "reference" point.



This is the new, 6-pin electrical plug for the Euro headlights.

The red arrow point to the top of the plug. This is where there guiding, or reference pin is.

The blue arrow points to the new wire for the city light. You need to buy a pin to insert int he hole. ou also need to solder a wire to this new pin. I think that someone else has already posted the part number for the pin. I have wired my city lights to the #3 wire coming out of the side marker lights. I simply spliced it to the #3 wire.

Now I need some help.

My new Euro lights are made by DEPO. The holder for the city lights in the DEPO lights is NOT like the holder for the city lights in the Bosch Euros in my 300TE.

The Bosch city lights holder is for a bayonet type bulb. I think it takes a T4W bulb.

But the city light holder for the DEPO lights uses the push-in type bulb (not a bayonet). I did not take a picture, but the base of the bulb is glass with two wires (sort of like the miniature Christmas light bulbs).

Does anyone what kind of bulbs the DEPO city lights take?

BTW, this is for a W124, 300CE.

Thanks.
