OT....Just like Christmas....OT

[P-12 Tommy]

Hey guys, I just received a set of 4 inch fog lamps in the mail! They were made by Corcoran Brown and are original Mopar accessory lamps. They say Mopar at the very top of them. They are in excellent condition! The killer part is I only paid 74 bucks on E-bay for them and they light up real bright! It feels like Christmas to me! Thought I'd let you all know! BTW... If anybody knows where I can get a set of brackets, please let me know. I've checked about everywhere and can't score any.

Merry Christmas Tommy..!!! when ya gonna get them installed...don't forget to put them on a relay...

[Young Ed]

Ive got some bracket parts but not a complete set. Maybe someone else has some pieces too and we can get you a set.

Thanks Tim! As soon as I get brackets there goin' on. There was a guy on E-bay that was selling brackets for around $39.95 but I can't find them. Can I use a headlight relay for those? Ed, that would be cool if I could dig up the parts. Thanks

yes...headlight relay would do just fine...I will look in my boxes of extra parts after bit and see if I have an extra bracket...I have three sets of th larger lights here somewhere and I think I may have an extra bracket...memory is not the best here..I also have a few sets of the smaller lights so may be confused with thier mounts...

The lens measure 4 inches across. That means they're 4 inch right?

Merry Christmas, can't wait to see them on the car

what you have there is one complete bracket, the notched end of the short one fits onto the notched end of the long one then either the long or short end can be bolted through the front splash plan and allow you some freedom of position and adjustment.

I have a set of dietz lamps which have a different bracket that goes down the space between the pan and bumber and clamps to the bumper bracket.

bracketts should be available at swap meets or maybe ebay.

[P-12 Tommy]

I don't have a splash pan so I have to get the ones that fit on the bumper brackets.

[Plymouthy Adams]

worse come to worse, new set bumper bracket style is 54.00 all day long

[P-12 Tommy]

Thanks Tim. BTW....can I use a Bosch relay or is that 12 volt only?

Tom

[Plymouthy Adams]

early VW Bosch maybe...the standard 1 1/4 inch sqaure bosch relays are 12 volt..I have never tried to see if the 6 Volt system would have enough umph to lock and hold the armature on the bosch 12V relays..

[P-12 Tommy]

I ended up buying a 6 volt headlight relay off E-bay. All I need now is the brackets.

I found my very rare single Yankee Clipper fog light for PLYWOOD, after the crash, at www.taillightking.com. He seems to have all sorts of lighting fixtures for old iron. I just now peeked and he has a very nice pair of good looking chromed brackets for a pair of vintage fog lights. Bottom of page marked old fog lights. Just above the brackets, he is still showing the Yankee Clipper Fog Light I bought; marked as sold.

While I was thinking about cool sets of fog lamps, from this thread, I checked back on ebay and saw that there is a very very cool pair of 1940's era Yankee Clipper Fog Lamps for sale, again, $70, with mounts. 9 hours to go: 330555723620

They are just like the fog lamps on PLYWOOD, only with different style bumper bracket mounts.

Both items, brackets and fog light sets, are buy it now items. I mentioned the ebay fog lights for other guys who might want a very cool looking set, to restore.

[P-12 Tommy]

I'm gonna give it a few days to see if someone comes up with something. If not I guess I'll have to go to the "last resort". BTW... I'll get my relay in a few days, so I'll wire it up until I get some brackets.

I found a set of chrome ones for 45 bucks plus shipping. It was listed for a Volkswagon Beetle. They look identical to the ones for our cars. They have a 3 and a half inch gooseneck.
