Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) 4/4 Fog/Spot lights

Cibie Oscar + spotlights on bespoke brackets they are mounted on the wing, but it is very possible they could be mounted to the Morgan wing mounts under the Number plate box so no drilling of the wings.
But saying that effective spotlights need to be braced to stop vibration, which would need the wing to be drilled.

ON/OFF toggle switch under the dash.
and then
wired to the headlight switch to so they are not on when dipped.
With all necessary fuzes and relays.

I would not use the spare dash micro switch (Air Con)

I had the Phil Ledgerwood option on my last Morgan as Dave as shown, it is a shaped stainless steel bracket fixed behind the number plate .
No vibrations and was very discreet.

The already installed switch on the dash is for the rear fog light. It depends a bit whether or not you really expect to use them as fog lights or driving lights. Some people install one of each.

I would recommend you use the aircon switch and the aircon warning light for any auxilliary front lights and keep it seperate from the rear fog light switch. Some re-wiring will be required to divorce it from the heater fan circuit.

My solution to this was to make brackets from a piece of aluminum lintel such as a bricklayer might use over a window or door opening.
The brackets are attached using the same bolts as connect the cowl box to the valences (inner wings). No modifications to the car itself are required and the brackets never contact any part of the wings or cowl.

Go very slowly in cutting this material as its very hard on the saw. Use a new blade and a bit of cutting oil.

The pictures tell the story.
Hope this helps,

More pictures. Brackets are cut to rough shape and test fitted:

Still more. Final finishing and fitting. Had to use a plywood spacer between the brackets and the cowl box to get the lamps into location I wanted.

Thanks all - plenty to think about - but I like the idea of a strengthener behind the numberplate box - something I can easily do as a project at my metalwork night school class.

Smart job!

Very neat and tidy, like where they are mounted.

On the switching front I would consider a separate on off switch, you can mount under the dash on the far right, remember to use a relay as well. I understand the existing switches are all on a main board which is susceptible to failure if overloaded, and cost around £300, a friends has just failed.
