Quick Euro Question....(W116)

All the Euro lights I see have clear FOG reflectors. was there an option for the good ol' yellow ones?

Also, does anyone here have THIS type of guage cluster in their 116?

the french cars had the yellow fogs on the W123's and W126's... so perhaps same applied to the 116 euros

That Speedo and Tach are from a Gasser 116.

If anyone has that in a 116 300SD it came from a junk yard.

Actually before 1983 i believe all french cars had yellow bulbs all around, so most lenses were actually clear.

well the euros from france on the W123's have yellow fogs... the mirror portion is painted or treated yellow and a fog bulb is in it... same treatment as the yellow fogs on the US SPEC fogs

That cluster image speaks for itself as the file tag says "69cluster".

yeah, but "does anyone have one.." was the operative question.

would it work in an SD, making the neccessary adaptations of course...

the RPM guage would be incorrect since the om617's redline is 5200 rpms...

I actually have a similar one in my garage.

The speedo on mine tops out at 240kph and the tach redlines at 6500 rpm with a full scale of 7000. I got it out of the junkyard about 4 years ago and I don't remember exactly what it came out of.

I grabbed 2 of them and used the oil gage on one when my original sprang a leak.
