keiser31 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Probably for no particular make or model. Aftermarket, I suspect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryB Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Take a photo of the light without the wire wound around it and be sure to include the bottom of the clamp that shows how it attaches to the car/truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roysboystoys Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 And photos of the back , so we can see condition of the chrome. Is there a name on the top behind the rim? Probably $25 a pair , if the bulbs are good. New ones are still avaiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 The cloth wire sets the age probably to the early 50s or older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Are they a matched pair? (including lenses?) Matched pair would be more marketable. Determine if they are 6 or 12 volt before testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roysboystoys Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 You will have to remove the rim to take out the bulbs. Usually a screw at bottom of rim. Might be covered by the wire? They are marked on the back of the bulb. Usually at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's no indication on lens face, you might need to remove glass sealed beam unit to inspect backside. Voltage or mfgr # might be stamped on back. Google mfgr # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 If you can't find the voltage marked and you have to test them, start with 6 volt and see if it looks dim. If you try 12 volts on a 6volt bulb you might burn it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the angle and how I have them sitting when I took the picture. I still need to get them out and look them over more. Get some more detailed pictures. It's a busy time right now with all the veggies we have growing. Been picking, canning, and freezing stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathgirl Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 They are 6V. I took one apart to check. I haven't tested them yet to see if they work but I can this weekend. Here are a few more pictures. It says PMCo with 400 under that on the top of the lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a frayed end at both ends of the yellow wire. Edited July 31, 2020 by keiser31 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Unity brand fog and spotlights were popular accessories. Unity had their name printed on a crest on top of the light. They usually command more money than more plain and generic lights. Here is a set of Unity lights mounted on a 1937 Dodge I once owned. If your lights were factory accessories that would increase their value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
