Well, I am going to take a wild guess and assume that my lamp defective message I now have is due to the fact my Carlsson front bumper doesn't have side markers anymore. How have you guys gotten around this?

I extended the cables and use them for side markers on my fenders. You can see on post pic of your 210 thread.

just keep the bulb in and tuck the stuff away.

If you don't want a hot bulb hidden, splice a 1/2 watt, 1.2k Ohm resistor in place of the bulb sockets.

Rob, thanks much! Have you tried that? I was thinking about closing the circuit totally, but then it might be funny when I turned the lights off. A resistor sounds like the right option. Now if you could only tell me the right wires to cut and resistors to put in to bypass the EGR on my E300, that would be cool!

Hubert - if that was english or coherent, it sure went over my head.
