A ha, so it is. Thanks for the head's up, but their procedure seems awfully complex, relative to what I had in mind. I might just wire a simple 20 amp 4-pole relay in there, energized by some low amperage keyed 12v source, and call it good.

Re: [MBZ] Daytime running lights on a 124?
I did notice in the w124 CD set there is an entire writeup (82-0071) how to convert a w124 to day time running lights using mercedes OEM equipment.

I'd like to convert my Euro headlights to operate with just the city bulbs, or the full parking light array when the key is on. I assume this isn't too difficult, but don't want to spend a lot of time reverse engineering, so if someone has some experience I'd appreciate the advice.
