Driving Lights
« on: February 28, 2015, 08:07:32 »
Hello:
New member here, just bought a 66 .042 and was wondering what are correct Driving and/or Fog lights?
I suspect they were Bosch rather than Hella but I'm not sure of either the size or model number.
My catalogues do not cover that period so it's difficult to check.
I'll be at a swap meet next weekend and would like to find a pair of the correct period items.
Thanking everyone in advance.
Kind Regards,

Ron

Thanks for the info and link. It helped a lot.

I should have been more clear, I was looking for the Aux fog/driving lamps mounted on or behind the bumper.

Not sure they were available from the factory so I'm looking for period accessories.

Thanks,
Ron

I have the extra fog lights mounted and evidenced in the factory option list. They are Hella

Hi,
addiditional lamps (fog for US) could be ordered from the factory, see option code 345 http://www.sl113.org/wiki/DataCard/OptionCodes.
In Europe additional high-beam lamps were mounted afterwards.
In both cases lamps came from Bosch. Newer aftermarket lamps were made by Hella.
