Every year our cars sport Holiday Wreaths but this year I went for something extra on the '4.

Those are a pair of C6 bulbs -- the kind used in the 20s thru the 50s on series strings of Christmas tree lights (the sort where when one burned out they all went out).

In strings of 8 for 120V they must be 15V lamps. The TR4's wiring loom passes right above the grille with the double-bullet connectors for the parking lamps right there, each with one position left open. It was dead easy to attach some standard screw bulb bases to leads with bullet connectors. Of course I used gen-yoo-wine Lucas parts and the correct color code wire.
 
These bulbs appear to burn quite brightly. Are you positive that you used only gen-yoo-wine Lucas parts?
Merry Christmas.
 
Very nice George, and a Merry Christmas to you. I can't think of any Lucas comments to make so I will nit pick on the orientation of your lights. The red one should be on the left and the green one on the right as per nautical rules. Thank You, I feel much better now. :smile:

Left??? Right??? Nautical???

Okay, I'll reverse the sequence and get the red to port side and the green to the starboard side.

This almost as confusing as nearside and offside.
 
Well Folks;

Being the Holiday Season; "WHO CARES"!

The wreath and lights look great to me & make the TR look even better!

"MERRY X`MAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT";
