I don't think the 78 has that sensor. But it's a hole. I can make holes.

What hole is it missing?
Do both dashes have the hole in the top for the HVAC
cabin temperature sensor?
I think a dash swap is straightforward, but quite the
PITA due to all the stuff you have to remove to get it
out of the way. Never done a 123, but I've had dashes
out of more 107's than I
Does anyone know if I can just swap out

If you can re-pin the connectors you should be home free.
There are no relays. Try not to mess up
I re-pinned numerous headlight plugs over the years. MB wiring harness plugs
are easy to work on with a good soldering iron and quality solder.
The plugs are designed to be repairable, so they are easy to pen and extract
all the parts.

Plugs look simple enough to work with after checking them out. I just got
looking at my headlights and found out that they have the vacuum adjustment
system in them. VERY cool, if I can make them work. Any wise words on
that?
Thanks again, Mike

Ok. So the headlights are in. Seems only the passenger side has all of the
vacuum parts so I will eventually get them all and make that work. All I
had to do was to put the pins in the correct plug like has been said here

I was thinking about this, and the reason I was thinking about pins and
soldering was because I always added the city light circuit. I don't think
this was standard on the US spec cars.

Oh. What is the city light circuit,
I,am assuming the city light feature is the little bulbs in the actual
headlight. I wired them the same way they were in the coupe and they don't
come on. Ran out of time to check the bulbs.

I have a 79 300CD with a perfect dash, I want to put it in my 83 300D. How

That said, I have never needed to use a tool to get the instrument
cluster out. All I have ever done is to remove the panel below the dash
and push the cluster frontwards from the rear.
