Essen Bargains - Trouble Lights
« on: April 18, 2013, 21:24:36 »
Very unusual to find something not over priced at Essen.Three of the GB mercedes club coach party  found trouble lights in good condition for 20 euros or about 26 U.S.D Each Cheers Mike. ;D

Hi any chance of seeing a photo of them?

I am interested as I have a couple myself.

If fact I will photograph them and post them as they are supposed to be for early Mercedes and plug into the auxiliary plug in the engine bay.

Paid a darn sight more than you did so congrats from me!

Ok here are some pictures of the troble lights I have.

This first one looks like it is made by a company called BUNO and has KACO on the actual clamp.

Here is the second one,

It has two globes and the whole thing is a clamp.
It is made by Hella and the plug can be used in the car engine bay socket or the cigar lighter.

I would be interested in seeing other types for the period (1960's - 70's).

Regards

Ron I am not sure I obtained the ones I have from France on eBay, I am in Australia, so I guess if you keep your eyes open you might come across one there.

A few years I bought in the southern US from a Unimog dealer as I had a 404S, the same trouble light for $25.00. It was still in the original wrapping. The only difference is the Unimog cord is black. I forget the name of the Unimog dealer but he was in the south. I think he advertises on Benz World in the Unimog
