wimpus Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hi, Has anyone got a good working Lucas Fog light switch (as on very late 1500's) willing to sell ? And the chrome bezel that is around the hazard switch and the Fog light switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Well, if nothing else turns up you can still get them new: https://www.autoelectricalspares.co.uk/lucas-33926-155sa-panel-switch-fog-light-427-p.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVD3500 Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Is this for the rear fog light? I am planning on retro fitting a rear and front fog light(s) and want things as authentic as possible... 🙂 Where was it located on the dash?

Colin Lindsay Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 You can see it through the steering wheel to the right of the rev counter in this photo: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVD3500 Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Thanks! I presume it is just the red, rear fog light that is common here in Europe. Does it illuminate when it is on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it illuminate when it is on? I think it is a requirement in the UK, to indicate it IS on. Either on the switch or on the dash panel somewhere?.

DVD3500 Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 The German rules say so in any case i.e. that is must indicate that it is on hence why I wanted to know if is in the switch or a light on the dash somewhere.... As I am adding it to a car that didn't have it before I have to comply with the current rules... Would also be curious what it looks like on the car. I have never seen one in real life before.

DVD3500 Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 I plan on integrating a 3rd brake light into the lip of the trunk/boot. I have found one that is more or less the same shape as the chrome trim and given the car will be cobalt blue I don't think it will stick out too much. It isn't very high but the "rules" say it must be permanently fitted to the car. I may put one in the rear window of the hard top and then disable the trunk/boot one (you are only allowed to have two if they are in the same plane). So Many Friggin' Rules.... Fog around here is seldom but it is often very thick when it rolls in so I just want the option if I need it. I will put fog lights on in the front as well. I have always liked the look of them. Those have to be on a separate (lighted/lit) switch though. I saw a Lucas switch that looked plausible. I presume the rear fog light was offiside aka driver's side under one of the bumper brackets... probably something squarish ...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 They were a pair, on the outer edges under the rear bumper. I'm having extreme difficulty trying to find a good photo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Saw a review, and the chap had used them not as fogs, but to provide a 2nd pair of brake lights. If they are as bright as the LEDS stop/tails I bought from the company, that would be, literally, brilliant. But as fogs, dead handy. Just need the twin contact bulbholders.

DerekS Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 That's the ones, Colin! In all fairness, they are fairly effective, unless someone is sitting on your back-end... Derek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVD3500 Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 So that's the original positioning? I will double check... say it together "the rules" as the LED solution above solves several problems at once but might not be "allowed",... I guess I would need new sockets as mentioned...

Got an aftermarket switch, but as im planning a new dash I wanted something more period correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Closest match may be the hazard light switch? Same idea of fitting, chrome bezel and all, just use the wires you need in behind, and you may be able to change the knob by painting or having one remade if you know anyone who could mould one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284528521881?hash=item423f38b299:g:coEAAOSwU4lffHDu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to find out if it has a light inside 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 It's illuminated, they were used on military vehicles including Landrover and Bedford lorries. It's actually a three position, off then pull on for one circuit and a second pull for a second circuit. Don't pay funny money for one, they're widely available. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293600261084?hash=item445bf073dc:g:x08AAOSwcv9e1kjS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always around 13 to £15 shipping for me 😅 (thanks brexit !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
