My '95 E320 Coupe and my '99 ML320 both have the rear fog feature.

ok, so if a feature like the rear fog lights become a standard inclusion, do they then get a mention on the data card?

Woah! Can of worms[:p]
Ok let me rephrase that
Hauser/Chris/Bruce Your modern MB have them...., do you use them.. Friend in US has an modern Audi A6 estate car (station wagon) and where the rear fog lights would be on a European model they are turned into extra brake lights on the US model. Seen this on other US spec'ed MB/BMW/Audi/VW etc
Hence my earlier post

I definitely use the rear fog light (05 E 4matic wagon) when the occasion merits, rain at dusk, etc. Volvo has them. My Mini, has the wiring but the light is not hooked up.

Malc, I use my rear fogs whenever the weather calls for it.  Fog, heavy rain are must times for the rear fog light feature.  The rain here is so heavy at times that the wipers can't keep up with it.  Afterall it's always best to see and be seen!

Yes, I do use the rear fog light on my ML320 occasionally, even in southern CA, when it rains hard or is foggy.  I've also used it to help a friend in a following car more easily pick my car out of the traffic.

I use the front fog lights more often, in fog or rain, or to provide better side lighting when driving in neighborhood streets.  I wish Mercedes had put in side lights that come on when one uses the direction signal, as the Ford Taurus had.

Hello Guys,
Here are some photos of what I believe as one original Bosch rear fog light. It came off a 1966 Mercedes (euro version).

Thumbing through the most recent issue of Mercedes Classic, there are several photos accompanying the cover article about the 170S, 220SE, 280SE 3.5 LWB, and (W107)300SL.  Look at the rear shot of the 280SE 3.5 and you will see a rear fog lamp fitted.  Is that an official M-B unit?

Bob,
Cut out the middle man and go to your local bosch dealer. Then again if your not in Europe they might not be able to get them for you....
