Does it differ from a wide narrow beam? ;-) Are you taking about a fog light with a fan beam? The shape of the fixture doesn't matter, it's the shape of the beam that counts. A fog light will have a beam that's very thin vertically with sharp cutoff on the top but has extreme horixontal spread. A driving light is typically more of a pencil beam. You can tell the fog light because the lens will have prominent vertical ribs whilst the driving light typically has a clear unpatterned lens. Both types obtainable in round or rectangular fixtures. What I should think you'd want for in back would be a working light type beam, lots of spread in both directions. GE has a nice little 4" sealed beam unit that I've seen supplied in a black rubber bumper mount. I had one that I meant to put on the '84 Westy but never got a round tuit. Yours, David |
