thedawnpatrol Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Quick question, please, I have a nice Butler blackout cover to fit on my WOT2, I've noticed that many vehicles only had one fitted ? is this correct and if so which side ?

Dave Page Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi Jules, a single blackout headlamp should be fitted to the nearside so the driver can see the kerbing or edge of the road, regular headlamps, if fitted, were on the OS and were independently controlled (own switch). Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 If you have one black-out light then it goes on the left or near side and the other mounting should have a cover made of a large washer with a cup square bolt through it. There is a bit in the 1945 workshop manual that says the headlight can be moved to the off side when the vehicle is used on the continent, but I have never seen a photo of this being done. I beleive only one headlight was used as an ecconomy measure later in the war and both my Ford vehicles had only one headlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
