Euro headlight groupies, advice?
Okay, so now that everything is fixed on the "MK2 Panzer", I can start worrying about aesthetics.
The car came with OEM Euro lights (Bosch, WITH adjusters, not hooked up). At first, I'll admit, I hated the things. I found the square look to be ugly, and not very "Mercedes" like. But, I'll admit that the things have grown on me. Anyway, I'm looking to get the adjusters hooked up. Anybody know where I can get the adjuster switch and vacuum lines? Is it very hard to hook this thing up, and do they make much of a difference? Thanks. Also! What kind of bulbs go in the darn Foglight socket? The PO stuck white bulbs in there, but I find the white headlights + white fog lights to be a bit senseless, and I yearn for my yellow fog-spray again. So, um.. what kind of bulbs go in the fogger socket, and do they come in yellow? Thanks!

You are going to need the vacuum adjuster wheel and the bezel that fits over your existing light switch - easily found on ebay daily. The vacuum lines can be bought at your local AP store. It's harder to run the lines through the firewall than it is to install - least for me. The bulbs come in yellow for fogs.
One caution: There are some sellers of Euro's that really are Euro's and are orientated for driving on the LHS of the road instead of RHS. Validate what you are buying.

Oh, no.. the car already has Euros installed. Like I said, they're Bosch with vacuum adjusters. I just hate the white lights that the PO installed in the fog slot, and was wondering what bulb number is the yellow replacements.
As for the dial, it should be a switch that goes into the center console, not light switch. My Euro 300D (even though it had US lights), still had the switch in it, and it was in the center console.

H4s for the primary headlights, H3s for the fogs. I'm putting my Bosch euros on this weekend, but I don't think I'm going to go for the dash-adjustment. Ebay does have the switch and wood piece you need to make it work; ebay UK does too.

OK got ya - the bulb number will be the same as the white bulb(H3) - just yellow.
My adjustment is located next to the headlight switch - not the center console
