[Healeys] Lucas headlights

[Oudesluys]

These switch clusters may go wrong in the hands of some ham fisted 
individuals but they do usually survive quite well. In my Jensen Healey 
of 1974 are exactly the same clusters and they have survived nearly 40 
years of use. These switch clusters can be found in countless other LBCs 
from the era,BMC (Austin/Morris/Wolseley/Riley/Rover), Land/Range Rover, 
Vauxhall, Rootes etc.
