Application
This housing is suitable for WWII military vehicles fitted with C&B type blackout lamps. The front marker lights were mounted in the grille and served during night-time convoy movements to gauge distance to the vehicle ahead without being visible from the air.
Installation notes
The housing is mounted with the corresponding marker light through and rubber seal (A-1071). Ensure the gasket is correctly positioned to prevent moisture ingress. The cat-eye lens and lamp unit are supplied separately and must be fitted into the housing.
Compatibility
Please note: left and right are not interchangeable. This housing is specific to the right-hand side. For a complete set, two housings are required (left and right). Check whether your vehicle uses the C&B type (spherical) and not the later M-series type (cast aluminium).
Historical context
Corcoran Brown was a major supplier of blackout lamps during WWII. The blackout marker lights were a crucial component of the military lighting system, designed to enable night-time movements without detection from the air.
