Fog lights??

What is are you guys running for Fog Lights I have a Vintage Speedster and I would like to run round fog lights with amber lenses. I what to see what people are running and where they where your mounting them (right on the bumper, on the bumper bracket, etc.) Who sells the best vintage looking lights?

Thanks!

Matt

Matt--you have a lot of choices. Do a search on this site and you will get an MBA in fog lights!

Kirk at Vibntage sells a set.

Carey Hines at Beck offers a really nice set of fogs. Lane has these and maybe he will post a picture to show them.

Mine are reproduction Marchals, popular fog lights from from France
that I like. They are on ebay a lot.

There are some nice ways to mount them too.

Heres a shot of mine. Good luck on whatever you end up with.

Carey Hines at Beck/Limited Edition sells Repo Marchal lights. I have a pair and they look well made, nice chrome that has not shown signs of pitting/rust for one year, very bright in the Yellow fluted lens version that I have. There is also a clear lens with yellow bulb I believe. I used a bracket sold by NLA Limited. Part No: NLA 631 221 07 This bracket is for a 345B/C but fits on a vintage speedster. Pricey, but nice.

NLA Ltd used to carry a light and bracket package but I don't see it on their site now. See the next post for the part number for the bracket that I used and some pics of my lights.

Matt, if you want to see my set up I am in Carlsbad and pass up your way often. If you want to see my car and lights send me an email.

Matt, I have five-inch Hellas from a 914 donor. They're quite nice for a daily driver, but not "correct."

No picture needed. Mine are the same as Jack and Will have. Cory, as always, is juuuuust a bit different. ;-)

Will--do your brackets stay on tight? I have to keep tightening mine as they loosten up.----Jack

Jack, so far they are tight, but I am going to check them this AM just to make sure!

Thanks Guys for all your feed back!! I think I'm going to watch ebay for a deal, I checked with Kirk and I think I like to more orignal look better than his, I also called Beck and really like there's but they are 350.00 for the lights and switches. Let me know if anyone sees some used ones for sale!

Thanks Matt

Matt--google Hella fog lights and you might like some of their offerings. I used their switch and found it on ebay for $24.45. It has an internal light that burns when the fog lights are on.

$350.00 is not a bad price for the Marchsl repros--that's about what I paid on ebay.---Jack

Matt,
If you're looking for period correct but not hung up on labels, check out Unity fog lamps. They were options on early Fords and definitely have the "look".
Check them out on Ebay:

I bought my lights from this guy last year. They are a good deal at his price. Item number: 260447744450 on Ebay. My lights were new in the box and have worked perfectly. There was a question about a possible short in theses lights. If you want the full story tell me and I will elaborate. The seller has the clear lens and the block pattern lens. Good luck.
