Re: What are these MBenz Lights?

I would say that you are looking at about 74-76 MB 114/115 body cars
(240d/300d/280). They are the standard fog lamps for that model. If you look
at later model MB's, you will notice a yellow lamp mounted flush next to the
regular headlamp, it is the same idea. I know a few people who own these cars.
>From what I understand, nobody turns them on because other drivers constantly
flash them like they had high beams on.
