Two vs one? or none??? Hello, Every time we go out on errands and check out the waves, we see this old Ford truck. It looks as if it has seen better days. But new tires accentuate the rusty patina that covers almost the whole truck. No, it does not sit in a garage. It is usually outside in the salt encrusted air that floats around late in the afternoon/night and sometimes as it comes rolling in during the middle of the day. The roof and rest of the patina is now “rustier” than a year ago. Jnaki When we owned a 327 powered 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery, after several months of work, it was road ready and safe. The handling was great and it stopped on a dime, without any steering wheel shakes. But, while driving on the coastal highways, sometimes the fog was so thick that a windshield wiper just did not clear the window. "Slow and steady wins the race..." Plus, the salt air fog on many occasions was super thick and we had to slow down to a crawl. So, in placing a single yellow light on the front bumper, we ventured out at the next round of thick as pea soup fog. The normal lights lit up the fog bank and created a bright glow of a wall. When we switched on the separate yellow light, now the huge fog bank wall was so yellow and bright that driving through it was a hazard. Instantly, we turned it off and when we got home, we took it off and gave it back to my friend. Fog is not a good sign to be on the road at anytime. But if and when it is a necessity, the regular low beams are good enough to light up the road and fog that is swirling outside of the car on the road. No bright yellow single of dual lights are necessary. YRMV Note: One time in our Westside of Long Beach neighborhood, driving the old flathead powered sedan delivery late at night, I ran into some thick fog. It was like driving into a huge wall of white water rolling into shore during a big ocean swell/surf days. It seemed as thick. So, I slowed down to a crawl on my side of the street. No one was coming toward me and it was getting harder to see the parked cars on the right. No center line for directions... So, I moved over to the left of the narrow side street and now, I could get as close to the other parked cars as I needed. If headlights popped up in a glow down the street, which it did not, I could always move over to my original side. As the closer I got to home, it was dark, super thick fog all the way home to our driveway. But, in thinking of that moment, who the heck would be in that thick fog late at night, except for a teenager coming home safely? Getting caught in thick fog is different than choosing to drive in a foggy day/night. Normally adjusted headlights give the best of a bad situation if one has to drive in fog. Note 2: As far as that old rusty truck is concerned, we did see it safely off of the street and into a parking space, in a driveway. Now, at least it is safely off of the road, during those thick coastal fog days and night scenarios.
My daily driver deuce pickup came with BLC headlights. It took a while but I finally found a pair of bullet shaped BLC fog lights that match the headlights with 12 volt bulbs, correct amber BLC script lens and the correct BLC bumper iron brackets. They even still have the original tags on the top. They look bitchin on the truck. Still have to get them wired.
I hung a pair of 'em on my wife's truck. Nothin fancy, cheap lights that I attached these repop Ford light tags on.
These are on Denver , CL. No connection....you can get 5" amber sealed beams at Napa, 12v., too.. $100 for the pair with brackets...... Vintage Unity fog lights - collectibles - by owner - sale - craigslist
