PROTECTOLITE accessory road light
Here is a nifty NOS accessory. They even mention the lowly Ford.

Re: PROTECTOLITE accessory road light
Nicely made, but why mount it down on the fender? It looks to me like road debris, mud, horse emissions, etc would make short work of it there.

Re: PROTECTOLITE accessory road light
Took care of that problem. Just mounted on the merc to the cycle fender mount. It’ll turn with the wheels now.
I’d have to agree %100 with you on the original mounting spot. Even with modern roads, it would take a good beating!

Wow, that is a real nice accessory! Sure adds to the look of your speedster.
These are early versions of today's driving lights that most cars have. Mounted low on the outer fender, and shine bright to aid in seeing into the road shoulders.
Put this style of Road Lite, with Monogram lens on the '23 cut-off, the adv. notes to mount low, on bumpers, etc. The bracket fit well to the front fender iron, so it hangs there now. Puts out a nice bright beam even in daylight too.
