Agreed.

I leave the power to the parking lights intact, and run a jumper to the city light function. I prefer to have the side marker function of the front parking light intact.

Back in the day.... I've spent close to 700 to get the OE lights and vacuum setup. Fantastic difference between the US lights and the euros.

On a number of W124s since, I've used Depot lights and have been pretty pleased. Do note, however, that Depot lights do not have the vacuum elements installed on all sets.

The Depot lights sans vacuum are the bargain bet when cost is an issue. Vacuum is fun, but it's a toy not a requirement. I did vacuum for three sets, then quit, it wasn't that big a deal.

The 94-95 US lights are as good as the euros, I've never felt a need to exchange any of my 94 or 95 lights, unlike the 86-93 lights.....
