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

I know what you mean Michael. Particularly German cars tend to have this
feature. It lights up one side front and back but not the instrument
lights. Normal parking lights usually bring the instrument lights on at
the same time.

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.

it was simply for more lumens ( brightness). But I guess it could just
be
brighter just on one side.
