Thanks everyone.  I feel a little better about them. 8-)

Bruce,  I'll give them a try.  If I decide against them, I'll pass them along to you.  If you don't like them, perhaps Tiny can use them on his.

I am a little concerned the generator won't keep up, but it would be rare to get caught on a ride during foggy conditions.  Perhaps this might happen at the BHR this year.

Lee, they do have a replaceable bulb.  The back side rotates so you can direct the beam of light.  Pretty cool.

Are they sealed beam or is there a separate bulb in there ?

The other consideration besides being drop dead cool looking is will your generator keep up with all the lights? My MGTD had a 30 amp genny that when fogs were turned on, went to the discharge side. I think there are stock holes in your frame horns to mount them to with no drilling. I won't deduct any points. Oilly

Tim,
  Send 'em to me, I'll put them on my 2A so you can see how they look. Then if you like them, I'll give 'em back.   Maybe. ;D   BW

Speedway motors sells a Fog light that looks very muck like these although I am sure the housing is much lighter in construction. I plan on mounting a bar off of the little grill corner mounts on the frame of my CJ2A and centering the FOg lights in the first grill groove on each side.

I love period fog lights.  I say go for it.

[size=12]I look at this from the standpoint of if it was an available option, factory or after-market, at the time before, during and within a few years after the vehicle�s manufacture, then it�s fair game for install. [/size][/b]

I like them...period accessories are cool...if the holes are already there then there is no downside...

I hate drilling extra holes.... >:(

Thanks guys.  Tom, they were mounted to the top of the frame rails just in front of the grill.  If I do use them, I would probably place them in roughly the same spot...




When I get to lighting, I suppose I could temporarily mount them and give them a chance.  I just don't want you guys to think I'm a hack. ;D

I'm with you Tim and usually despise aftermarket junk (including the vinyl BesTop that resides on my own 3A)....unless it's period correct or reasonably close, to which those fog lights would qualify. I think they're cool. Bolt 'em up and see how they feel.

Very cool, Tim.  Put 'em on and see if you like the look and the light they put out.  You can always change them out.  Now, were these mounted in place of the OE headlights or were they mounted elsewhere in addition to the OE lights?
