DIMMING SWITCHES.
We consider the Lucas Dimming Switches very desirable fittings for R-R Cars. It is the simplest method of overcoming the glare of the headlights when passing other traffic. It is very much safer than switching the headlights off altogether. In should be fitted in such a position that it is convenient to operate from the drivers' seat.
