Weird Stag lights

[Jon Tilson]

I was trying to refit the lights to our stag after major body resto and there I was thinking it would be just like any other 4 light lucas setup of the period, dolly, T2000, rover p6 etc etc...<br>
<br>
Not a chance...<br>
<br>
This one has some weird halogen set up and appears to have just 4 single filament H4 bulbs.<br>
<br>
So does the outer one stay dipped all the time on a Stag?<br>
<br>
Anyone knowledgable or who could point me in the right direction...do the stag lot have a resource like this?<br>
<br>
I think it could end up being rewired like a dolomite....<br>

Interesting...<br>
<br>
On my '74 Sprint the dipped lights go out when the mains are on but on the '79 Sprint the dipped stay on all the time.

From memory Jonners, all 4 stay on when on main beam on ours

All dollies have a dual fillament, 3 connection outer headlight. One for main and one for dip. If you look inside you'll see the light fillament for dip is in a different place so the parabolic reflector and fresnel grid on the lens project the beam differently.<br>
<br>
My stag just has a single filament outer, which I strongly suspect is a bodge by a PO...to get to a cheaper H4 bulb solution. but I could be wrong, hence the Q.<br>
<br>
Just wanting confirmation...<br>

Just looked at my '74. Must be a bad connection somewhere as when I pull the arm towards me (flash), all 4 lights are on. But when I push it away (main beam) the 2 outers are off.

Ahoy there Cap'n Tilson!<br>
<br>
Stag lights should be the same a Dolomite ones, no matter what the age of the car.<br>

as I know you've had a spate of Staggering about...<br>
so I'll go with the voice of experience which sits well with my own theories that someone has seriously fiddled with these in the past...<br>
<br>
Looks like some new light bowls are needed as all mine have 2 wires only.....out comes the dolly light box then...<br>
