Default 1983 GSP Mustang Bumper lights

Trying to determine what lights GSP used on their 83 Mustangs

Those that are members of elightbars;

I would like your opinions on The Yankee lights...
Do they appear to be what was used on the 83 GSP's or not?


Here are some better (hopefully) close up pics of the actual article in the 1984 July issue of Popular Mechanics...

We've determined that the housings are definitely square...
and that the bulbs are definitely round...

Don't forget that you have also determined with certainty that they are BLUE! Good luck with tracking them down.
