The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Does anyone have a photo of the original type of rear fog lamp fitted to the late Dolomite, or the make.

All help appreciated.

They were a dealer option fit until they became law in 1980 when the cheap Lucas type were used.

Same as this......................

Not 100% sure but as it was only law after April 1980 it was only the last year of production that had to have them I can't see Triumph spending money buying from other sources. I certainly haven't seen any other type on very late ones, the boot shape doesn't give to any flush fit type.

I have 2 on mine, one looks like stock but no make on it - probably safe trying to find 2 Lucas ones that have the bumper fitment.

There were several variations fitted, but all similar; some had a black plastic back, some had a 'chrome' plastic back...

I've found a view Lucas options on the net so will probably get the closest.

Radyot made them as well, but more oblong than lucas.
I think they look better But that is because i have them on my car

Have you a photo of them?

I will try and send photo
There is one on ebay at the moment item, 372101543729.
Very easy to fit, mine are on the bumper bolts.
Cheers, Tony.

Mine are Raydyot. You can sometimes find them on Ebay. I used some metal brackets from Wickes, cut them down slightly, sprayed them black and then fitted the lights to the brackets.

That's a great help guys, just to search for 2 suitable ones now.

There's a couple of Raydyot on Ebay currently, though they aren't hugely cheap. I think mine cost £15 for the pair, now people are asking double that for 1!

Typical, I'll hang out for better deals as don't need them immediately.
