W126 Euro Headlights

I just purchased a set of used Bosch euros on ebay. I know I need to get the correct connectors for them, but is there another pin that I can buy at the dealership to hook up the city lights?

to make the city lights work use a jumper wire from the side markers to pin # 4 on the euros.

Look at the Resources Tab on top of screen, then DIY articles then W126 Euro Lights.

I installed my headlights last night using a wiring diagram I found somewhere here. The drivers side was a snap. The passenger side wire colors did not match though. I spent more time fiddling with the wires trying to get them to work properly than I did installing the actual lights. My question is: My blinkers in the front dont work now and for a while the interior lights were not working while the headlights did. Has anyone ever had this problem while installing these lights? I dont see how I could have botched this simple job. For some reason the interior lights decided to start working again. Just my blinkers are bad, unless with all of my playing with them I weakened the fillaments because they still look good.
