Application
Fitted to the right-hand side (passenger side) of WWII military vehicles. In the original configuration, the right-hand rear lamp contained the blackout brake light function in the upper section, which displayed a white light when braking in blackout mode to warn following traffic in convoy.
Installation notes
The right-hand rear lamp differs from the left: the cover has a slot for the blackout brake light. The lower section houses the blackout marker light (cat's eyes), the upper section the blackout brake light. Only active when the light switch is in blackout position.
Compatibility
Please note: left and right rear lamps are NOT interchangeable. The right lamp has a blackout brake light (white), the left lamp has a service brake light (red). The cover of the right lamp has a specific slot for the blackout brake light.
Historical context
Corcoran Brown was a major supplier of military lighting to the US Army during WWII. The blackout lighting system enabled night-time convoy movements without detection by enemy aircraft.
