Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms SPOT LIGHTS ....

Mine have a pull-push switch under the dash and come on with the parking lights. I think they are fog lights rather than driving lights but I don't actually use them much as I find the normal headlights on our 2012 car surprisingly good.

I improved my lighting, initially by upgrading to Osram Nightbreaker Plus H4 lamps. These made a significant difference on dipped beam.
I then changed the headlamp units from the standard Wipac units to Cibie H180 headlamp units. On dipped the beam there is a marginal improvement, however on main beam in my view there was a significant improvement.
By the way, when sourcing Cibie H180s are aka Valeo 082439.

I have held off buying auxiliary lamps as I feel I need additional light power whilst on dipped beam not on main beam.

From your various comments, it seems a separate switch for the spots a good idea. This would allow me to use the spots as a supplement to dipped headlights - which are on most of the time. This would better light the roadway whilst not dazzling oncoming traffic.

Have e-mailed Phil Ledgerwood for details of his "rod through the number plate" solution, and will compare with Borghi - if I can find their e-mail address.

Thank you Peter - will let you all know how I get on .

Is there not a dash switch for the fog / spot lights on the newer cars, or am I missing something. My cars all have fog / spot lights switches on the dash??

Cheers,

On the recent classics not the 3.7 Roadster nor the latest Plus 4, the basic vehicle has 4 push button switch, one for the heated front screen, one for hazard warning lights and one for rear fog lamp. The spare switch on the central panel if it is available is used for the front spot lamps.

Ah . . . progress. . . got to love it!

Thanks! My knowledge base is always growing thanks to TM!
