The light bulb behind the rotary headlight switch (that lights up when you pull out on the knob) is burned out in my 92 300D. FLAPS has 'em, usually. #2721? That's where I get mine (but we have nothing newer than '86.) -- Jim

Just wondering... earlier this week, I lost all lighting on my passenger side of my '82 w126. No low, high or fog beams. Fuse is ok (changed it anyway to be sure), so it has to be wiring or the switch. There are at least three fuses involved in what you described. (And at least two more

The 500SL in '79 would be a Euro model. I know they made 500SLC's - for racing. I don't know if the 500SL is a standard Euro car or rare. There aren't very many 500SLCs, and the do go for a fair amount of money. On 9/16/06, LT Don [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, realized my error a few minutes

IIRC the factory euro 500SL did not appear until the early 80s; and imported in small numbers by MBNA. At the time, both gray-market and MBNA 500SLs were running around. You'd have to check the vin # to know what model, of course _ Frank Pembleton Manchester, MO
