they're illuminated in my '91 200q

never really noticed on my '91.  i know on my '87 4kcsq, they cycled (or at
least you could hear the relay clicking back & forth)

wait a minute--city lights are part of the euro-H4 setups--i thought you
were looking for some of those?  on my '91, the city lights are the parking
lights (cause the corner markers don't exist on the euro-H4 setup)

part 1, yes.  figure out a way to remove the door first, then simply pull
the coin holder out--might take a bit of effort, but it does come out.  
part 2, a bit tougher.  you'll need to replace the original switch bracket
(holds only 5 or 6 switches, i think) with the 9 switch bracket, p/n 441 863
349 (thanks, Joe Y).  question is, can you get it here in the states?  i'm
not sure, but it might be the same one as used on the '92 and later 100/S4.
