I wouldn't have thought so, but it's possible. I think Jaguar would have styled it like that deliberately. If anything, the standard 7" or 5 3/4" round Lucas jobbies would have been off-the-shelf parts, but I think they'd have used these by choice. Unless they were in the BL parts bin for something else, maybe?
I had Sheerlines (3) & they had damn great Lucas P100 lamps with a solenoid to dip the reflector on the passenger side when the dip switch was pressed, that action also extinguished the driver's side lamp.
Interesting how such a set-up fares on today's roads, but then they were exempt from the MOT years ago.

My parents had a 2200 HLS with the trapezoidals. Strangely I do like these cars.
Beautiful cars. Great example of British craftsmanship.
I have a couple of P100 in the garage I inherited from my old dad. He told me once that if you see one going for less than £100, you should buy it.
Might be an idea to advertise them, cars that used them are fast becoming extinct.
Indeed. Nobody does tasteless excess like the Yanks!Not pretending very well
Although they were comparatively rare when I started my Vauxhall apprenticeship in the early seventies, I can still remember the PA Cresta's ability to kneecap you getting in the bloody things! Had more contact with them when I used to do banger racing.

Each to their own, I guess... Doesn't do anything whatsoever for me, I'm afraid. Lardy, inefficient barges with vulgar shiny bits...
