My early '52 split should have what color running lights in the front?

Amber (yellow) or white.

Would it be different if it was USA bound or Germany bound?

Would it be different if it was in a Bosch unit or Hella unit?


Food for thought,

Spanish Flea

I believe white is correct. I don't think yellow bulbs were used there until the 60s. I could be wrong though....

I believe John is right but I could be mistaken.

Just ordinary clear bulbs.
