Bosch/Lucas Headlights?????

[air-chief]

Hi All.
Does anyone know around what date Holden stopped using Bosch headlights and started with Lucas?
Or was it a simple thing of what was available at the time of production in each state.
Any info will be appreciated.

        FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ON FE AND FCS VANS UTES AND WAGONS HAD BOSCH HEADLIGHTS AND SEDANS HAD LUCAS.
HOPE THIS HELPS.

.....I don't want to open the flood gates since Ken will be able to quote a definitive source, but my 59 FC ute which is all original outside is Lucas.

According to the parts book Ace is mostly right.  FE vans, wagons and utes had Bosch lights and FE sedans  had Lucas lights - except for a few early utes assembled in Melbourne and Perth which had Lucas lights.

But for FC, the parts book lists both Lucas and Bosch lights as standard equipment for all models. This applies to FB, EK and EJ for that matter as well so both lights would have run right through the entire FC range.

So everybody is right !!!!!!!!!
