Dave,
I have Raydyots on both my 3 and 4 and they work great. The ones on the 3 came
with the project and are vintage 70's. One spot and one fog.
The ones on the 4 are different model than the ones on the 3 but I was able to
source bulbs from the Little British Car company. They are halogen. Again
there is one spot and one fog and with the spot, I can see forever.
I can email you a pic if you want to see them mounted.
I didnt bother with a relay just wired them with toggle switches mounted on
the bottom of the dash.
The lights from the 4 were sourced from Ebay.
The plan is to get another set of Raydyots for the 6 project, but so far
nothing on Ebay.
But that project is a long way from needing driving lights at this time!
