WTB: W115 Fog lights
I have a 1974 - 240D that my dad bought new in Montana. I live in Oregon now and it get's really foggy where I live. I am looking for a good set of fog lights for this car.
Does anyone have a set that they're willing to part with? Dave |

If you want function, look for a pair of classic styled round ligths in chrome and mount them vice the originals... You can refresh the original reflectors, but it is not inexpensive..... Jim

I agree with Jim's observations above. It is possible to install smaller lights within the original shells--here are the ones I have left--good luck Tim Kraakevik kraakevik@voyager.net |

Hi Guys,
I found a guy who makes reflector materials that are used for aircraft and for race cars: Heat Reflective Film at Thermal Protection, Inc. I think that one could adhere the .005" thick material to the rusty reflectors and get near new reflector performance. I talked to the reflector film material owner and he said that the material is very durable and doesn't scratch very easily. The operating temperature specs (continuous 450F) are well within the operating range for the fog lights (I think). I am going to make a paper pattern, buy a foot of reflective material, and use the pattern to make the films that will be adhered to my existing reflectors. I think I could buy the material I need for under $20 and get near new reflectors. There is another guy in Portland who will vapor deposit silver onto your original reflectors. The cost is about $150/reflector. I really can't afford this treatment. What do you guys think of the reflective film approach? BTW, I bought a pair of fog lights from a guy near Portland. The bodies are really good but the reflectors are questionable. The only issue with the fog lights (besides the reflectors) is that one tilt bolt and nut are rusting. Does anyone have an extra good bolt and nut I can buy from them? This is the funny keyed bolt/stud and nut used to adjust the fog light vertical tilt.

I would be interested in the heat reflective film.
As for the "108 fog lights" - in general, this means turn signal lights. Those are not fog lights unless the OP has something other than what one often sees that is round and amber on the front of a W108... |
