Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Fog light install - daytime running lights

Well, sort of. I started with a set of "5" Round Amber Fog Lights" I bought from eBay which included the brackets. The lights turned out to be really cheap and cheesy, too small, and more yellow tinted than amber - they didn't look right at all. OK for my tractor perhaps, but not the M3W. The brackets on the other hand were quite nice. I think you can get them independently of the lights, either painted or chrome. I only used the top part of the bracket, not the bumper clamp bits.

The bracket mounting bolt is 7/16", almost identical to the size of the metric motor mount bolts.

Thanks.
John.

Hi, Thank you for posting this. I am going to give this a try. Is there a link to the mounting chrome bracket you used? I know it was part of a kit, and you only used part of it. I think you did a great job thanks for sharing, Shane

Hi CoopDeFeet, welcome to Talk Morgan!

I started with the instructions on this thread, and I think truckin-on is referring to something like this light plus bracket set on Ebay: https://ebay.us/Vk7Gsp
You can also find stand alone brackets like these https://ebay.us/Lh75L3, which is what I bought, although I didn't use them in the end.

I ended up simply mounting mine on a piece of bent steel bar with holes drilled in it, as I don't think you need to mount them as high or wide as trucking-on did if you don't have his badge bar.

I found some vintage 5" round German-made fog lights very much like truckin-on's on Ebay after a lot of searching, and converted them to LED bulbs. Still not happy with the color you get with white bulbs in them, it is too lemon-yellow, so I have some amber-yellow LED bulbs on the way from China currently.

Came out like this:

Looks good👍

Here's a link to High Noon's very helpful post on bending and drilling a steel bar for fog lights, and how to attach it using the engine mount bolts.

Been so long since i posted photos that I have forgotten how.

I bought some fog light bumper brackets from Rodrigues.com. I replaced the existing bolts with some longer ones from Fastenal and attached mine to the front plate holder. Has worked well. As seen on my Flickr page below:
