Peter You may want to check the wire from the lamp under the wing. At one point one of mine was left hanging and not tied back to the wing stay. It rubbed on the tyre and eventually rubbed through and that lamp went out.

My car has the wing-top lamps, the off-side one of which has ceased to function. NOT a blown bulb, replacement makes no difference. Both headlamps (dipped and main beam) work perfectly. BUT, at the first position of the light control stalk, only the near-side wing-top lamp illuminates together with a small bulb inside the near-side 7” headlamp. Nothing at all on the off-side but, as I said above, on the second position of the stalk both headlamps come on and function correctly… I’ve never before noticed these small bulbs inside the headlamps, why are they there and do they normally come on with the wing-top lamps? Are they wired in series with the wing-top lamps so that, in my case, a circuit failure has caused both off-side bulbs, i.e. the wing-top one and the small one within the headlamp, to fail? Where should I look (other than in the ’phone book for Stratton’s service department, of course)?
