Has anyone installed (yellow) fog lights on the front of the A ?
If so, how did you installed them ? on the front bumper?... or ?
What kind of brackets ?
Picture ?
Thanks

Yes, but not ON the car at the moment. I got some of these brackets which fit nicely on the bumper mount rail.

i have them on my Roadster pickup and Cabriolet. The mounting bracket came withe lights and squeezes together on the bumper bar. They look fine on the truck but they look like jewelry on the Cabriolet and will soon be removed. Some Barners cover their cars with bling and jewelery to attract attention but I for one think it ridicules the car. Wayne . .

Looks great, but also expensive.

I have a pair of the old Lucas Flamethrower driving lights on the front of my '29 Phaeton for when I'm outback. I made a couple of "L" shaped brackets (up side down) and mounted them using the inner bolts that hold the bumper. They look good and work well.

I have 6 volt driving lights I bought from them years ago mounted on my 29 Tudor.

FYI: Yellow lenses did not become available until 1936.

I have a set of these fog lights on the shelf in my garage for about 5 years now. I even have both 6 and 12 volt bulbs (sealed beams) for them. They were made by Unity and have the same fastening device as illustrated in post #2. They have the Ford script on the shell as well. I realize that the sealed beams and yellow lenses came out several years after my truck did, but then so did I. I'll get around to putting them on one of these days, as soon as I get some other things done. Still looking for a "period correct" switch to make them work, nothing has caught my fancy yet. I did find some little skinny stainless conduit (like the horn & headlights only made for one wire) also.

Just more bling.

I used the fabric loom available by the foot from NAPA or others to enclose the wires.
Looks period correct. Also use a small piece of rubber tubing at the light end to mate the loom to the light end. Suggest using a switch with lighted handle so as to not forget to turn them off.

Very large for signal lights and look very much out of place. That us why mine are comming off and headed for stirage. They serve the purpise but tidy detract from the cars appearance and originality . Wayne
