I am in the process of restoring a 1960 TR3A. I am trying to be as "correct" as possible and use period correct accessories. I have 1960 vintage Lucas fog and driving lamps that I intend to mount on a badge bar. Does anyone know what type of switch was used to control these lamps? Is there a source of NOS switches or does anyone make an authentic reproduction?

Thanks

Hi Frank, do not know about TR requirements. However, on the Healey cars they were wired into the dipper switch such that they were available only when the headlights were dipped. OTOH, more definitive info might be obtained on the Triumph Forum.--Fwiw---Keoke
 
Kent Lacy of Virginia Beach brought a beautiful 100 to stand for Concours at Conclave 2005. During the prejudging we could not find a switch for the driving lights. Kent coyly announced that he used the sliding panel lights switch to activate a solenoid hidden under the dash to control the driving lights and hard-wired the panel lights into the side light circuit. He took a couple of points deduction and went Gold.
