They are very similar to the Butler lamps on a grey Fergy tractor, but be careful some of the tractor ones were only single filliament.

Take a look at Mark's 2010 thread on the subject. (The lamp on the RHS) http://www.aulro.com/afvb/series-i-land-rover-enthusiasts-section/103218-lights-behind-grille.html

i know they are very similar.

the bases where they attach the pivot bolt to the lamp body is different as well it seems.

i have 3 types here, two i believe to be proper lucas bodies but no glass and rims etc, a complete butler with badge intact and two of the bare co. tractor lamps new in boxes.

the two lucas (?) and the butler have fine thread on the pivot bolt, the bare co lamps have a coarser threaded bolt.

will take pictures if the rain ever stops ...
