[TR] Clear/Amber Fog

[Michael Marr]

Frank, I also seem to remember that you could also buy amber headlight covers that clipped on. I think they incorporated a prism design that would direct the dipped beam to the right, instead of the left, so that your dipped headlights would not dazzle any on-coming Frenchman. Or maybe I dreamed this after imbibing too much Double Diamond...

i remember when we would journey to the continent we would buy a little bottle of amber paint and paint the white headlights of one's car.
the paint dried to a see through amber color.

When the weather warms up a bit That is the combination I have ready to
install on my TR3. Of course you need a switch for each because you
would normally run either the fog or driving lamp. If you had jst fog or
driving lights you would only need a single switch. The amber fog lights
were required in France because they cut through the fog better and less
annoying reflected off droplets of water. They were also optional in
different countries.

I will be using the Lucas PS-7 switch panel shown at the bottom of the
