But maybe I'm remembering wrong... > Not entirely. Euro models use that little bulb in the head light as a parking light because they didn't have a 2-filament bulb in the turn light. Since US models required a side marker light (since 1968), the parking light filament then served that dual function.
Back when new Euro lights were purchasable from Bosch or Hella, side lights came in the box with single contact sockets. But, the dual contact sockets plugged right in. I bought several sets back in the day. My first Euro light conversion was my '72 250 and all since then up until the W202 which came with Euro lights and H4s.
