Driving lights--wiring & mounting

Jack CrosbyJack CrosbyHot Springs, AR, VS RabyTypeIV

All--I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a nice pair of Marchal driving lights and need some advice from the "brain trust" here.

1. Should I opt for the clear lenses or the other ones?

2. Is there a "kit" available with all I would need to wire the lights? I know it would contain a relay, fusing, a switch, certain size wire, and instructions.

3. Should the lights be mounted right on the fiberglass front bumper
or are there some kind of mounts available that mount the lights to the bumper brackets.

My car is a Vintage Speedster.

Many thanks for some advice!---Jack

Well I am serious and just got the Marchals off ebay for $190 the pair. They sure look good and I suupose are from the orient somewhere.

NLA was out of them and didn't expect any more to arrive. The ebay offer was a 'buy it now" so there are likely more available so if anyone is looking for these ebay has 'em. I did a search on ebay for "Marchal driving lights" and they were on a couple of places.
