Default Ford CMP dual lamp reflectors

Hu David,

Yes, I now think what you point out is the reason for the two lamp reflectors on some Ford CMP trucks. They just had a lot of old stock to use up.

As for the parts manual showing the two lamp type, probably that was the only type of reflector available at the time so they showed it as it was.

It was so long ago I salvaged these reflectors that I cannot remember If I unplugged the tail from the small lamp to any existing harness. Most likely there wasn't even a harness there otherwise I would have grabbed that too for a pattern. The original cowl harness I now have is just a recent acquisition and only three wires go to the sides: High beam, Low beam, and Sidelight. Where the harness is still covered there are only three wires in it so no extra wire to the small lamps exists. I'd now bet that the tail to the small lamp just dangled in space not connected to anything!

Thanks Lynn and David for your inputs.

Cheers,
