what are these things on either side of the grille?

[Pete M]

the little black things.  headlight sprayers?  It's an old image of a european MJ. 

[Dzimm]

That's kind of what they look like.   Does Europe have a weird requirement for something like that?

[JMO413]

Deer whistles that they mounted wrong? They call them elephant whistles in the body shop beacuse we've never seen one hit an elephant with them installed.

Haha if only they marketed them properly...

I really can't think of anything else those things could be.. 

[Pete M]

the pic was sent out to newspapers in part of the early ad campaign.  somehow I doubt they are the deer whistles you buy at the gas station.   

 

my guess is headlight sprayers.  I've seen them on other european cars. (sometimes with tiny wipers too!)

[Dzimm]

Any info on the ad campaign at all?  May lead to more info

[JMO413]

I'm guessing your right Pete. I googled headlight washers UK and they have had them since 72. Would would have guessed they had them that far back.

what you see is what I know.   

[Dzimm]

This may have the answer in it and would just be cool to have.  Was thinking about buying it but the currency exchange doesn't work in our favor.

thanks! 

[SuperSwede]

It's a Swedish registered Jeep fairly close to my home, and one of few still in traffic 

 

Swedish regulations demanded washers for some years, to day they don't.

Ugly and not that useful...

[Manche757]

What's the round thing on the front fender near the top corner of the fender flare?    To turn alarm system on or off maybe?

should be the side turn signals

[SuperSwede]

Yep, another Swedish demand as well as that all turn signals has to be orange, front, side and tail..

So what is done to the tail lights to have the turn signals amber?

This^^^^^ super curious now

[Kjell]

Quick fix by importer    Have modified the reverse light to turn signal and use a orange bulb

[SuperSwede]

Earlier all non European imported cars (Without amber tail turn signals) got some extra ugly turn signal mounted under the original tail light.

Otherwise not approved for driving on Swedish roads..

 

Today we got led lamps where you can change color or  double colored leds in one socket, in this case backlight and turn signal i the same socket

Good golly, fugly!
