Hmmm, Not sure I've ever seen a car with these. Norm sure makes some nice stuff though.

Driving lights and Ray Dot mirror:

Flip up fuel cap and number illumination lights:

The Ray Dot mirrors were ubiquitous in the 60s, many race cars used them.

Nice. I need to get a set for one of my GT350Rs

Thanks for the photos, JC. That explains where and what those parts are for. I learn something from this board every week.

Your welcome Alan.  The number illumination lights were to help the scorers see the car numbers at night.  No GPS transponders or back lit numbers in those days.
