        TBON lists the driving light and the fog light but there is little
detail.  The switch panel is not shown.

The Rootes Parts List in the Special Accessories Section indicates:

5220643 Driving Lamp Kit        superseded by 1216602
5220644 Fog Lamp Kit    superseded by 1216603

Note.   For initial fitting 5220276 Switch Kit(Series I,II& III) 1800381
Switch from Series IV and 1201417 Brackets are required

        The wire diagram shows one switch and 2 Fog lights.   This could be
a typo about the 2 Fog lights?  The one switch with the Fog and Driving
light makes sense since you would use one or the other lamps as required for
the driving conditions.   2 Switches would let you have both lights on at
the same time.

Is there a wire diagram with the Switch kit that explains the 2 switches?  I
don't know.

Any info on this from the BON?B B  I do not have a copy.B B B  However, and
for whatever it may be worth, my old CAT Shop Notes Third Edition (1980) has
an extensive Parts List in it.B B  Who compilied it and from where does not
seem to be indicated.B B  However, it lists the following Lucas models under
Fog Lamps:B B  FT6, SFT576, and SFT700.B B  For Long range driving lamps it
lists LR6, SLR576, and SLR700.B B  It also lists two Foglamp switches:B B
model 57SA part #31947 D/E and Foglamp 3 position model 57SA part number
31946B.



In my copy of the Rootes ManualB  WSM.143/144 First re-issue the wiring
diagram shows both lights controlled by a single switch.B B  On the
pictorial of the dash at the far left lower corner of the dash to the left
of and below the a mmeter location B it is indicated that a switch goes
there for auxliliary lamp (if fitted).B  However, on my car, that is where
my heater blower switch is located and there is no location for the blower
switch anywhere on the pictorial!



I am very content to leave the B blower switch where it is and follow the
highly knowledgeable Michael King and his information on the auxiliary
panel.B B  However, it would seem a case could be made for putting a single
switch controling both lights by the ammeter and putting the blower switch
(with its metal label surround) on a separate auxiliary panel under the dash
bottom roll.B B  Of course, there are examples of incorrect info in the
manual, are there not?!



Just stirring the pot a little late in the day for the fun of it.B B  Your
forgiveness please!
