That's what a parking light does. One or two clicks past "0" should give you independent "parking" lights. If you park on the side of a road and don't want any one to rear end your parked car, leave that side's parking light on.I cant figure out why the blinker light/parking light stays on when I turn the light switch past the off position.Makes no sense to me.
Im sure there is a logical explanation.
Your owner's manual can explain the function of the headlight switch...pretty much what KTT said.I cant figure out why the blinker light/parking light stays on when I turn the light switch past the off position.Makes no sense to me.

Yes, all the 107s were built in Germany. What questions did you have about the heater controls? It has the same system as my 75, and that works like it's supposed to. I did have to take it apart and clean it before it worked right, though.O.K. Thanks for the info.
If I could just figure out how the heater controls work, I just cant think like a German. Was this car built in Germany?
That is the most lucid, logical explanation I have heard regarding the MB parking lights. When, and under what circumstances were you in Germany?It makes more sense if you ever travel to Germany. You'd see many cars nestled up against a building with one lamp lit. The streets in many towns and villages are so narrow that even when parked tightly against a building there is very limited space for another vehicle to pass. German automakers put the dual switch in to mark whichever was the outboard side of the car, depending on which side of the street you parked.
Mid-eighties, a brother in law in the USAF and his family were stationed in Bitburg (Bitte ein Bit!) along the western side of the country. We flew over with the kids for 10 days and traveled around the west and the south of Germany. Did a little Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Belgium and about 10 minutes in France (wrong turn) on a swing through the south and heading east to Munich (Garmisch-Partenkirchen).That is the most lucid, logical explanation I have heard regarding the MB parking lights. When, and under what circumstances were you in Germany?
Ja.O.K. Thanks for the info.

I have a clue. At age fourteen I rode a Greyhound bus to Oroville Ca. which is about 100 miles north of Sacramento. The stretch of highway 99 north of Sac was two lane. The bus driver straddled the center line, and hammered down, putting both the southbound head on and northbound traffic onto the shoulders, which weren't nearly wide enough. He passed every car and truck within sight, and we were not passed by a single vehicle. I was certain we were all going to die in a pile of burning wreckage.^^^
Ask me about how you pass another vehicle on a 2 lane road. Yikes.

In 1968 I was hitch-hiking just north of Monterrey Mexico and was picked up by a fellow driving a Shelby 350GT. He made it to Mexico City in something like 4 hours, doing 100 + mph down the centre line of the two lane road, traffic in both directions scattered to the shoulders. I think he was showing off to the good looking girl travelling with me. Maybe his plan was to scare me to death so he could steal my girl. Damn near worked. Forty years later I remember that ride like it was yesterday.
