[Healeys] Driving lights

[BJ8 Healeys]

Fred, I installed a set of Lucas repro driving lights on my badge bar (from
Moss Motors).  The badge bar is designed to support the lights.  I have not
had a vibration problem in the four years and 21K miles the lights have been
installed, and only this month have I ever had to replace a bulb.

I have a wiring diagram for wiring the lights available if you want it.  I
used a SPDT switch and relay to control them, so that I can turn them on
manually for use as daytime running lights or to adjust them, or so that
they will work with the high beams of the headlights.

Listers,

I am thinking about mounting driving lights on my BJ7 this winter.

What is the collective experiences and thoughts of the list on how to
mount, what type of lamp and the use of relays/wiring/switches etc.  How do
I avoid the vibrations and the resulting loss of bulbs I have experienced
on my TR3.

hanks,

Fred
