So how do you have your w126 euro's wired? (not a how-to question)
This is a style question, not a how-to question.
I'm struggling with how to "re-euro" my greymarket 126 headlamps & side lights in my 126, but with a little extra. I got some dandy Bosch units direct from Germany and some slightly-smoked corner lights to go with my smoked rears. US specs are (front): *Note - corner light has a 2 element bulb. Parking/standing lights on - corner lamp on (low) Headlights on, low - corner lamp on, low beam on Headlights on, high - corner lamp on, high beam on Headlights on, high or low, turn signal on - headlights on + corner lamp on (low) + flash (high) Headlights off, turn signal on - flash (high) Fog lights on - Headlights + front fogs on Euro specs are (front): *Note - corner light has 1 element bulb. Parking/standing lights on - city light on (located below main headlamp) Headlights on, low - city light on, low beam on Headlights on, high - city light on, high beam on Headlights on, high or low, turn signal on - city light on + headlamps on + corner lamp flash Headlights off, turn signal on - corner lamp flash Fog lights on - city lights + headlights + front fogs on Ok, so, I'm thinking of combining the two. I was thinking of: *Note corner lamps have 2 element orange bulbs Daytime running lights - city lights Headlights on, low - city lights + low beams + corner lamps (low) Headlights on, high - city lights + high beams + corner lamps (low) Headlights on, high or low, turn signal on - city lights + headlamps + corner lamps (low) + flash (high) Headlights off, turn signal on - city lights + Headlights + flash (high) Fog lights on - city lights + headlights + front fogs on ...OR I might tie the city light to the corner lamp so it's normally off and flashes with the turn signal. Heck, what about using a yellow city light when tied to the flasher - anyone tried that? Decisions, decisions... Right now I've got to find an extra 2 post "sleeves" for connecting to the new bosch units. Even though I already have a 6-post connector, it seems they removed the "extra" copper sleeve. I may just make some if I can find some copper tubing thin enough.

Using the city lights as DRLs is not effective. I simply have the city lights hooked up with the parking lights. I like having the orange parking lights on the front of the car, and chose to leave them active.

I have the city lights as the "park" lights , no "park" lights in the blinker. less confusion, you know when I'm making a turn.
