[Healeys] German spec BT7

[Mike Garvey]

Before you use the dual filament bulbs, you should look at the specified
lifetime of the bright filament.  In normal use, the accumulated lifetime
for a brake light or a turn signal light is adequate, but if you intend to
use the bright filament as your running lights, the lifetime may be an
issue.

I have a 1961 German spec BT7 that I am restoring. As you may know , the
German spec BT7,s had separate single filament lamps for side a signal
lamps. The rear also had separate single filament lamps for signal and brake
lights. As separate single filament lamp holders are found on no other
Healey's or Sprites and BJ8 lights are completely different,  I need some
single filament lamp holders. Anyone know of any other cars of the period
that used these. Plan B is to use duel filament holders, and wire both
filaments together for extra brightness. Anyone see a problem with this?
Thanks in advance.
