Installation notes
Housing is mounted in the grille or on the wing with corresponding fixing ring. Lamp insert (bulb assembly with cat-eye lens) is installed separately. Suitable for 6V systems; with 12V or 24V conversion, adapted wiring or resistors are required.
Compatibility
This is the housing only – the complete lamp also requires the lamp insert with cat-eye lens and bulb. Note: different types of marker light housings exist (Corcoran Brown, Ford-specific, Yankee). Check which type was originally fitted to your vehicle.
Historical context
Blackout marker lights were a crucial component of tactical lighting on WWII military vehicles. The cat-eye construction showed two light points at greater distance, four at shorter distance – thus convoy spacing could be maintained in darkness without visibility to the enemy.
