Fog Lamps

Are you talking about the glass lens itself? The W123 on the top, uses a "regular" 5 1/4" ? bulb style. The same size as the old quad round headlights that use to be on cars into the 80's. The only difference is that the "flanges" on the outer rim of the bulb are in different places to keep you from placing them in a low or high beam position. It uses an H-3 bulb with the "pig tail" connector.

I am not sure what the specifications are for the older MB fog light.
