Here's a picture of the Marchal fog lights I installed on my Speedster. I found them on Ebay---likely repros but good ones. I went with a Hella switch---looks good on the dash and has a little light inside the switch that comes on when the fog lights are on. Also I got what was advertised as a "heavy duty wiring kit" for fogs--it included a relay and a seperate fuse.

Getting ready for Carlisle!---Jack
Jack, looks great.

How did you mount the fogs? And did you wire directly from the battery. More details please. I have the same ebay ones also with a relay and switch sitting in my things to do box. I will get to it soon.

Remember Cary warned us about a fix on these e-bay Marchals. Something about inner wiring can short out and we just need to add some insulation. Just search fog lights and that thread will come up.

Dave--here's a picture of the mounts i used. Someone posted this same picture and where to buy them but I can't locate it or my paperwork so I can't tell you where to get them. Maybe someone will chime in here with where to get the mounts. They are expensive--more than I paisd for the lights! Anodized grey aluminum and well-made.
Many folks including Becks drill the fiberglas bumper and have good luck so consider that too.

I wired them into the ignition so they will come on only with the ignition on.

A diagram came with the wiring kit and there are many diagrams here---do a search.

Yes--I did the precaution which was advised---added a piece of rubber inner tube material between the wires inside and the back cover of the lights.

I do still need to see what bulbs the Marchals use so I can get a spare. Hope this is helpful----Jack

Hey Dusty--man,you do get around! We would love to get to Morrow Bay this year but I am covered up selling businesses right now and with the hosing I'm taking in the market I can use the money.

I am hoping,and think it will work out next year for Morrow Bay--I just have to find out if the "left coast" characters are as looney as I believe they are from seeing their antics on this site. Musbejim, the scout sent from CA, certainly was when I met him at Carlisle last year so that's maybe a preview :).

We are driving to Carlisle this spring and are already making plans for caravaning through Tennessee and Virginia with a few regulars.

Hey, wait a minute!

I don't remember MUSBJIM being "looney".....

A little foreign looking, maybe...(I say that as a born in New England Yankee who views anyone not from New England as a little "foreign looking" - that goes for Mitt Romney, too.)

I do admit that many of us "East Coasters" kinda wondered if he was a West Coast scout ship of sumthin.......

We're getting more West Coasters coming to Carlisle this year, so one could ponder whether his visit was a success........

PEOPLE OF EARTH....ehhhh, I mean CARLISLE!!!!!! -- Stand away from the egg sammiches and your lives will be spared!!!!

My re-con mission at Carlisle proved that species of East Coast Earthlings make poor attempts to mask their superior sensory attributes. This was manifested by various shapes of head apparel. Consider the following;

(1) Carbon-based life-form Tom DeWalt possessed head apparel with sunglasses mounted on top (apparently to protect the additional set of eyes on top of his head).
(2) Earthling John 2-Bolts required a chapeau large enough to encase his ginormous brain.
(3) My attempt to fit in with the normal flora was successful with my subtle pineapple adornment.

...on the other hand....

The West Coast Freak show was much less subtle with their blatant disregard for peaceful co-habitation.
