Default Fog light innards

Can someone post a picture of the internal parts of Ford (Unity) foglights? Specifically the bulb retainer, if there are such pieces? Thanks in advance.

Are you referring to the bulb-and-socket type? If so, I don't have one near right now, but they took a bulb with a flange similar to the early headlights.

I believe so. Was there little spring clips to hold the bulbs? Have a picture of such lights as a reference.

1952henry, Polosi better convince their EPA of that since they won't allow natural gas to be used to power natural gas pumps , must use electricity in new applications. No problem though, Obama just won't let the new transfer pipelines lines to be built.

Those look like sealed beam lights. Yes, there are spring clips to hold the bulb in the retainer ring. I think NAPA sells them. If I remember correctly, there are four clips per bulb.

Henry, With no year specified, I can only guess as to what you need. Here is an internal picture of a 1934-35-36 Unity sportlite

Thanks all. So 'tis just the little spring clips that locate the bulb assembly. I really appreciate that.

Keith, maybe the pumps can be plugged into a "currant" bush.
