Dave,

I have Raydyots on both my 3 and 4 and they work great. The ones on the 3 came 
with the project and are vintage 70's. One spot and one fog.

The ones on the 4 are different model than the ones on the 3 but I was able to 
source bulbs from the Little British Car company. They are halogen. Again 
there is one spot and one fog and with the spot, I can see forever.

I can email you a pic if you want to see them mounted.

I didnt bother with a relay just wired them with toggle switches mounted on 
the bottom of the dash.

The lights from the 4 were sourced from Ebay.

The plan is to get another set of Raydyots for the 6 project, but so far 
nothing on Ebay.

But that project is a long way from needing driving lights at this time!
