Are you going to run it with an extra switch or tie it into the front fog circuit?

Probably run it to front fogs; finding the Green-lit pull-plug for console box may be impossible...

I was thinking about doing this while my car is apart.  I found a light that I like although it's not period correct.  It may do a better job while keeping a low profile.

Looks cool!

I'm becoming a fan of <$100 mods for the SL, from lights to leather conditioner to tools.

Smiles per Dollars.

Saving my $$$ for an SLS!

If you are looking for one - the Classic Center sells the green-lit pull switch for the fog light.

Yes, thanks

Noticed Hella makes this light as white reverse light too; as well as different red versions ...

Kayvan, The small accy fuse box next to the washer pump on the booster bracket is what feeds your front fog lamps. You could tie the rear in there very easily to run with the fronts. Cant get much simpler.
