système de phares à un seul filament Explanation: Dip the lights : basculer en feux de croisement anciens véhicules : ampoules monofilament => basculement latéral du réflecteur " headlights on my 1926 Rolls-Royce 20hp have single filament bulbs, and the method of reducing the glare for oncoming drivers is by operating a dashboard mounted switch that reduces the current and dims the bulbs. I presume this is legal, because the car passes its MOT every year. In the course of tracing an intermittent fault, I found that the near- side headlamp is still fitted with a solenoid and a movable reflector. This indicates that the dipping mechanism was originally of the type where the off-side headlamp is extinguished and the near-side reflector swivels towards the kerb." http://uk.rec.cars.classic.narkive.com/oiin74Tp/vintage-head... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2018-08-10 08:29:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "La commission sportive appliquera les règles drastiques concernant la conformité des voitures à la série dans les classes tourisme, ce qui conduira à la disqualification des trois premières BMC Mini Cooper et de la quatrième au classement, une Ford Cortina. Le motif pour cette exclusion : feux non homologués ; dans le cas des Mini, il y avaient des ampoules à simple filament au lieu de filaments doubles – les feux faisaient office de phares, et les anti-brouillards faisaient office de codes."
