Lights mounted on fenders? Were the lights mounted on the fenders called clearance lights. Were they original equipment in the U.K. & C. Are they available as aftermarket? Thanks in advance.

Re: Lights mounted on fenders? They were called Fender Lamp A-13200 I think these were for US.
Fender Lamp RH AF-13202-B and Fender Lamp LH AF-13203-B I think were foreign. |
Re: Lights mounted on fenders? Did they come standard on some models or were they special order?

Re: Lights mounted on fenders? Special order or dealer installed...

Re: Lights mounted on fenders? Are they available from any of the vendors?

Re: Lights mounted on fenders? With an amber globe fitted, they would make great turn indicators.

Re: Lights mounted on fenders? They were required by law in the British Isles as they marked the front end of a vehicle where as cowl lights do not . In some areas when parked overnight the "parking lights" had to be left on this led to an aftermarket little lamp with a very small bulb clipped to a side window . Red to the back and white to the front .This law lasted into the late fifties .My English built built 68B cabriolet has factory fitted fender lamps but no cowl lamps and the cowl is not drilled to take them . Cowl lights were not legal as they did not mark the front of the car . The 180A de luxe phaeton in the museum in US has cowl lights but these would have been fitted after the car was imported .I bought a 28/29 fender lamp at the Qualcom meet in San Diego it is identical to my English ones . English fender lamp lenses are violet tinted but this American lamp is USA yellow tint which I found very interesting .
John still in Suffolk County England . |
Re: Lights mounted on fenders? I do not understand why the fender lights would be handed left and right as indicated by the part numbers . I have never ever seen any variation in construction that is for both 28/29 and 30 onwards maybe an offset at the base which must be very very slight .They are very very hard to find here, the headlights are very easy to find but not the fender lights I recently sold a pair of 30/31 (mild steel commercial) for equiv $ 400 and the buyer was very pleased it finished his grandfathers AA truck restoration . The passenger car stainless would have made much more .
John in the same place . |

Re: Lights mounted on fenders? Typo on my last should read "fender" not "cowl"
Still John. |
Re: Lights mounted on fenders? Some Australian states also had parking light laws which meant that extra lights were fitted to the front mudguards(fenders). In Victoria, the tail light had to be externally switchable if a separate light was not fitted. This switch was often mounted on the rear RH mudguard(fender).

I think these lights were fender mounted:

Re: Lights mounted on fenders? That's the sort that John from Suffolk mentioned, fitted usually on the B door pillar right hand side purely as a parking light. (Do you use that nomenclature in the US? A pillar is the one by the windscreen, B pillar is behind the front door)

Re: Lights mounted on fenders? Chrysler used those between the two doors on their higher end Phaetons. Much sought after.
