Hi,
I'm in the same boat as you. I haven't committed to installing the light yet but since seeing one at the Older Timer museum in Stutgart, I've liked the look and the added light would be great too.  The fellas at Star Quality in NY would have a good idea but that parts supplier is gone now, I'm sure the guys are somewhere. I found the bulbs, where did you find the housing?
Thanks
Derek

This is from a drawing in "Fazination SL, W113" published by Mercedes-Benz.

Looking at the car from the front.  The measurement from the outside edge of the front wheel well flare to the outside edge of the bumper mounted round fog light is 335 mm (13.2 inches).  The measurement from the ground to the bottom of the bumper mounted round fog light is 490 mm (19.3 inches).

They actually reversed their conversions in the book.  They said:
335 mm = 19.3 inches
490 mm = 13.2 inches

Obviously they transposed these conversion numbers.
