[MBZ] W123 euro ?

[Joe Knight]

Puttin' together a little nuisance parts order I think I've just had a
stroke of genius - or something.   I was going to add that 5-hole
switch panel to the order in another attempt to get one that'll allow
me to add the light range selector switch to the center console when
it occurred to me that there's already a switch in there that's never
used.  Thought I remembered what it was for but had to check the
owner's manual to confirm that it's for the back seat courtesy lamp,
which comes on anyway when a back door is opened even though the
switch is out of the car at present.  So what occurred to me was to
wonder why I might not want to just abandon that switch and plug the
light range selector switch into its place.  That'd even leave me with
a spare light tube to plug into the new switch.  Anybody think of any
serious downside to this approach?
