[DeTomaso] Fwd: Re: Taillight Housing Extra Socket?

> Different kind of parking light, I am referring to one that lights up
only the left or right rear corner ( on a 450SL it is activated when you
turn the lights off snd then go one or two clicks backwards past that - 1
for left, 2 for right ). Not standard parking lights that light up all four
corners plus the side markers.
> Used when one is forced to park along a narrow street at night, one one
corner and one bulb to reduce battery drain.
> Since it was asked about it only being on one side is why I didn't think
it was simply for more lumens ( brightness). But I guess it could just be
brighter just on one side.
