Regarding the headlight lens, did left hand drive countries have different refraction patterns or just turn the UK ones upside down?
It's perhaps worth reminding us which way the UK lens is orientated, cup or dome? cheers Russell
Good morning (evening/night in NZ). Thanks for the information about the rear light.
I fear your thinking is too sophisticated for the headlamp glasses of the 1930's, they were designed to diffuse the light so as not to blind on-coming traffic (very prescient with the discussion about modern lamps) and did not shape or bend the light beam unlike modern glasses.
The tear drop glasses fitted to Austins were fitted in a cup orientation yet other manufacturers fitted them dome orientated.
