Kelvin Dodd I'm getting very confused about how the optional US/Federal 68-71 MGB fog/driving lamp switch works. Does anyone have one fitted or know for sure how it operates? It's a 3 position switch
I think I have answered my own question. I'd appreciate verification if The switch appears to work in the same manner as the headlight. Position one (top depressed) no lamps Position two (neutral cen
UK cars didn't have a fog light fitted at all, at least not for these years. Off the top of my head I don't know if the rubber bumper cars used them; I know it wasn't a legal requirement at least as
Logically fog lights should optionally come on with the parking lights, and spots with the main beams. It certainly wouldn't make sense for the fogs to only be on with the headlights, main or dipped.
I don't have access to an original switch, but dissecting one of our repros indicates that the guts are exactly the same as the headlight switch, except that on the headlight has the power feed gang
Hey Kelvin, I wonder what theory is behind this regulation. In the Netherlands it is not allowed to have headlamps on with fog lamps. Fog lamps are to be switched on with sidelights only. Rear fog la
It confuses the heck out of me too. I've been meaning to rewire my throw down daily driver so the foglights come on with the sidelamps the way God intended them to. I've no concept who came up with

Just look at how long it took before quartz-halogen headlights were allowed, instead of sealed-beam units. Even now, I think the light spread requirements produce poorer headlamps than people get in

Part of the issue may be that getting a driving license in the States is a trivial affair. Just look at the way most people drive. Its a wonder we're not all dead! Perhaps one of our British members
I'd swear I saw a special on driving in Germany, and the process for getting a driver's license was 1 year of practice, and $1500. Course, then again my memory isn't quite the same. Ron '71 MGB -- Or
My previous 2000 built Audi A6 used to eat headlamps all the time. But never the brake lamps. I had automatic gear, so that is the same with yours I assume. I drove over 100,000 miles in that car and
In the Netherlands youngsters can get their driving license after passing several exams - only at the age of 18+. Even for mopeds a driver license is only haded over after passing a theoretical exam.
Obtaining a driving license in the UK is much like Hans described for the Netherlands. It wasn't easy when I did it 17 years ago (took me two attempts), and it's got harder since. Minimum age is 17,
