They`re also good for whoever has a WALD bodykit of the era

They're not off a C36 as the listing states, they'd be ok for a C43, but the reality is that C43 use prefacelift R170/facelift 210 fogs, so they're plentiful anyway.

Price for a new one ?

£57.16.

So at £15 a go they're not expensive, but not for a C36 and not all that rare.

I figured they`re not C36 ones but never knew W210 uses the same ones

AMG foglights tend to just be off something else - so C43 are 210 ones, 209 and 203 are 230 lights and so on.

I would imagine it costs too much to make a foglight just for AMGs.

The 124 genII ones are AMG specific,only 140 and 124 with AMG kit have them

The C36 ones are the exact same shape but aren`t driving ones

Thinking about it, W210/W208 and SLK 170 AMG fogs are the same, and unique to AMG kits.

"Driving lights" come on with beam or flash so should not be used during normal driving unless you are on an unlit road with no oncoming traffic.

The bumper mounted lights on a C36 were either high beam or foglights, whether this was a choice when you bought the car or something that changed during the life of the model, but I believe it was the very early cars that had them as high beam and were changed to fogs on the later vehicles.
This has come up before on the forum, though a few years ago now.
