lesapandre Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Yes protective covers were quite the thing in that era. Some cars had single fog lights for picking up the roadside verge in a 'pea-super' some two - sometimes they were yellow-lensed. martc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Jetter Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Indeed. A fog and a spot were a common fitment. The term 'auxilliary driving lamps' springs to mind. martc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of older lights like that had a blue dot in the centre for some reason. It was common in rural areas for cars to have some extra lights fitted for driving at night on unlit roads. My Brother had a Mk4 Escort with them as it had been owned by someone who lived near Whaley Bridge.

Yes, both spots and fogs. Not sure if it was a technical, design or brand issue though. Dad had a 'rally lamp', that you stuck against the inside of the windscreen to aid visibility on club stages 1950's style, no blue dot though IIRC.

MiniMinorMk3 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 The blue (and amber) centred lamps were made by Notek. No idea what the thinking was, but they used to be on every Mk2 Zephyr/Zodiac that was at a car show in the 1980s.
