headlight selector switch for W124

[mattc]

Need the above as the fog lights are a swine to switch on. Occasionally I can get the rears on but the cover is more likely to come off in my hand as I pull it. Have not been able to get the fronts to come on at all.

Clearly not ideal if its foggy so would prefer to swap know whilst weather is fine.

anyone got one please PM me

hey im not replying really to your request...but i feel it must be put out there for all to know...I owned my w124 before i realised how the fog lights worked...and my Grand pa owned the vehiclefor 5 yeas before me without knowing they existed....to turn on the fog lights, (members who were once naive like me0, you must pull slightly on the headlight toggle when the lights are turned to side or full lights...i.e. if you have your light son at all..pull on the switch quite firmly, but not too gently...and it will clip out..and the fog lights will turn on.
i am sorry to those that this post may offend for its naive and perhaps plain ignorant viewpoint...but the relief i recieved when i found this out was so great i must try to share it with others...

The front foglights should come on at the first pull, with the headlights on, and the rears at the second pull, have you tried to see if your front bulbs are ok, if you have not got sorted i can sell you a switch and knob, pm me if you want one
