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.

Ask the owner of those lights to take a measurement between the mounting screws and see if they match the holes on your bumper cover.

I will.
But what mike (Imevil) discussed was that there was more than likely a brace fabricated to hold the lights. As there is no holes through cover into bumper bar. I'm not even sure mine had them. If it turns out to be that Atlanta car ( the one my contact is standing beside at the guardrail on Confederate Ave.) then it didn't have them. Ido have two small screw holes (not bolt holes) on each side of my cover but for all I know they could be deer whistles etc. they definitely would not have supported anything of any size. Will try to post pics of this in a few.

Pic of holes. They are definitely screw holes not enough to support a light by themselves...
