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

If spots on a badge bar isn’t an option, then this was the set I was thinking of.

Craig, if it helps visualise those Wipac spots from Williams, here they are fitted to my car.


John, Plus 4 Gdi.

Just been on the HofEM website and it’s not there so it might not have been them
They do have an elongated square section badge bar and spot brackets but the badge bar fits to the bumper brackets and replicates a 60’s design so no good

I wonder if I saw it in Melvin’s catalogue or was it Librands?

I beefed up my numberplate box & fastened them to tahat as Dave W said - sadly you can`t do that. My "spots" are very neat and are 4.4" motorcycle headlights from Europa Spares and just wired to dip setting. They have often been admired as they are small, matt black and fit in well with the 4/4 sport look.

Is that legal? I thought spots had to be wired so they only worked on main beam?

They look good, thanks John

Craig, have you considered some LED spots mounted inside your Valance vents ?

You can see mine in the LED Headlamps thread, page 7

I think you're right about that Tim.

As I understand it, auxiliary spots or driving lights must be wired via the main beam.

Fog lights can be wired separately but must only be used at times of low visibility which I believe is usually taken to be less than about 100m.

I've never been tempted to fit spot lights because main beam is more than adequate for road driving and you can't use them on dipped beam anyway. ( I hope I've got that right )

If they can legally be used with dipped beam then I would be tempted.

However nothing beat the look of 4 giant Cibie Oscars on the front of the MK1 Escorts back in the days of the Motoring News Rally Championship.

Might look a bit silly on my 4/4 though.

Yes I did see them Jon, they look awesome.

Hi John,

Lovely set-up.

Where did you get that 'valence' please? I really like that look, keeping the over-riders as well.

Cheers,

Peter.
