Hello,
and i apologize if it's common knowledge or posted somewhere, i couldn't find it.
Fyi, i am from Germany, and cars over here have a different light scheme since at least the seventies.
I am wondering how all the lamps on a real '79 Bronco work because i want to make my model behave like a real one.
Can someone tell me how all the lamps work, which wattage they have, when they light up, and how strong?
e.g. do the front beams have a parking light? We have 55W low beam, 60W high beam (sometimes both filaments in one lamp, sometimes two lamps) and a separate 5W parking light bulb, that sometimes is integrated in the main reflector.
What type of lamps were used in the '79? Were they halogens?
How do the side lamps work? Do they flash with the indicators, and if so: how?
Do they always light up, or only when the main light is on?
Same for the red rear lights: They are rear, brake and indicator all in one. We have 5W rear and 21W brake in a two filament lamp, but the indicators are extra 21W.
How does this work on a vintage american car?
