Hot Rods Fog Lights on your rod

Is anyone running fog lights on your old rod? Style or type you used?

Some may not agree with them but I can't believe someone did not do this back in the ole days.

History, information or pics appreciated.

Thank you.....

 

I have a couple vintage sets I might run on my Model A and my '62 Bel Air. Still have not decided.

 

yeah but just one...and we always put it on the drivers side...why? hell if I know..we just do.

 

Yeah,,,I use them for running lights and turn signals. HRP

 

http://unityusa.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=67 Terry O posted this link on a different thread. I am thinking of a single amber on my roadster. Southern Cal also sells them if I remember correctly. Maybe I can split a set with a like minded person.

 

I had one planned for my Tudor from the start. Just scored a nice little GE from a HAMBer a couple weeks back.

 

i always thought they looked nice on this.....picture stolen from someone here on the hamb (feel free to take credit)

 

HRP's Deuce pickup was the first thing I though of when I saw this thread! Love that picture!!

I like 'em, I picked up a vintage set and the early car bumper brackets. Not sure which car they will end up on, though.

 

here's mine.

 

Very cool Tommy!

Driving my daily got me hooked on good driving lights. It is a 2000 Ranger and the lights on that thing are so good I dont hardly even use the high beams.

 

headlights from a old riding on lawn mower, going to stain them amber and use them as blinkers on my T.

 

Trad 27, you can buy amber led's that show bright amber through clear glass.

 

I got a pair from a '36 Ford I'm using on my bad weather vehicle. I know that in the '60s in N Cal they were a pretty common site. But it does get foggy there.

 

thanks, I will look into that

 

I like the looks of them, and the function
I live out in cornfield country, it gets foggy at the drop of a hat.
not to mention im getting older and the ability to see under that band of fog is added visibility, especially with all the suicidal Bambi's we have running around here
I plan on a set for my A

 

Mine is set up similar to HRP's truck...running/signal lights.

 

Hmm... these look nice! Maybe Ill keep my foglight, I cant get it off anyway haha.

Oh and you're right, Onlychevrolets, there is only one and its on the driver side. It doesnt work but I blame my wiring

 

What a killer truck! That is an awesome pic as well.

 

I have had several debates about using a fog lamp.......some agree, some don't......I have seen some old pics where street driven cars would have one or a pair........I found a real nice King Bee and I use it......it is one bright mother!!

Every time I see a photo of it , I dig that car more and more.

i love the foglight/headlight/nerfbar setup on the twight zone

 

Thanks man,,,This was taken as I was pulling into the driveway after my first drive around the block,,You couldn't get the grin off my face with a side grinder! HRP

 

Here's a few pics of Traditional Hot Rods with Fog Lights (borrowed from KIRK!'s "PHOTOS: Goodguys BLUE SUEDE CRUISE in Norwalk, OH...Show and DRAGS!!!!" thread):

 

If you can find em, some of the old 70's mercedes had some really nice looking ambers, My dad up in atlanta has several sets for the 28 if he ever gets it done, I spent an entire day with a pair of waders on once,going through an old flooded mercedes parts warehouse at a yard looking for some. did find several sets of them fine looking lights, wish i could find a picture

 

These 5" lamp PN's were given in another thread.

Wagner 4412A and 4001A

And this HAMBer rebuilds em and sell them I think "oldlites4U"

 

I run them on my Stude
