P-12 Tommy Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 Mike, Alot of pictures of old cars on the Internet have fog lamps. The choice is up to you, of course. I myself like them. I just bought a nice set on E-bay, just waiting for brackets. What model do you have? Tom Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 I have a nos set of 6 inch Dietz fog lamps......still in the box after many years......just seems the front looks cleaner and you see the grille better without them. Quote
greg g Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 There is a picture of mine with fogs in the gallery on the main page of this site. I have added bumper guards since this pic was taken. Quote
michael.warshaw Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Posted May 22, 2011 i couldnt find your car with fogs greag, aan you post a pic? Quote
greg g Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 So Bob did you use 2 clicks or 4/5 with the copy paste??? Quote
Don Coatney Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 So Bob did you use 2 clicks or 4/5 with the copy paste??? Greg; Is that actually your car or the elusive super deluxe? Quote
claybill Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 FOG LAMPS....cleaner without 'em.........neater with 'em. b Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 It probably took 4 or 5 clicks to do it the way I do. Is that too many???????? **I personally know your car is a Deluxe, Greg. It's rather amazing how many folks call the Special Deluxe by the Ford moniker of Super Deluxe. Hard to educate 'em. Quote

Young Ed Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Jim I know you haven't had a chance to drive much yet but do you or Greg find them to be useful at all in bad weather? I've been caught in a few nasty rains with the plymouth during tours and wondered if some additional lights up front might have helped. Quote
Jim Yergin Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Ed, With a body made of wood I try my best to avoid driving in bad weather so I really can't answer your question. More for show than anything else. Jim Yergin Quote
greg g Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) They work OK in light fog and mist, the deal with fog is you want a low reflected light (supposidly why they are yellow lenses) and you want to keep the light low and aimed down. I have mine so they shine about 30 to 40 feet out, and are aimed at the center line and shoulder, under the aim of the headlamps. These days I find any more light always a good thing. Plus NY has a lights on in the rain law, so I usually flip on the fogs rather than the headlamps. I usually use them at Dusk and into early dark, to be seen rather more than to help me see. Plus mine came from my father's miss spent youth. He say he had them on his 37 Chevy. Edited May 23, 2011 by greg g Quote
P-12 Tommy Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 Greg or Jim, Do you have a pic with your fog lamps on? Tom Quote
