A car with ultra dim lights powered by an iconograph of a glow worm makes it extremely difficult to detect that the lights have failed without amazingly delicate equipment. :devil Those of us that have been the proud owner of a 60's era Kraut cycle (VW) shouldn't cast stones at Lucas. In fact, the VW lights were so poor, that a similar requirement to the man walking ahead with a red flag was used. Except, the VW had to be preceeded by a Lucas equipped English car with its lights on full beam and its driver muttering "don't mention the war. This caused terrible confusion as it even had to be done in daylight and was known as the "blind leading the blind". Ken |

BTW, it is only in the daytime that you can tell a lucas light is on high beam by examining the switch positions. At night the dash lamps are no more use for illuminating the panel than the headlights are for lighting the road. Most english cars had at times to be preceded by some other nationality of vehicle either pushing or pulling. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
