I was lookinh\g at the fogslights on the Escort GT's and they look like they could fit a 87-88 bracket, plus they are marchals with he black cats on them. Anyone ever tried making them work?

what year gt's? i have a 91 and the lights on those (91-96) are fairly long and skinny. the earlier gt's may or may not be a better match though.

Yes they are long and skinny like the 87-88. Just curious to see if anyone has test fit them

I could be off, but my mom had an escort and I think they are shorter (top to bottom mounted in the car) than the TC's foglights. I know on a turbo coupe I used to have I found replacement fog lights that looked similar to the originals at general parts suppliers like advanced or pep boys and fit, just needed to modify the mounting bracket.

They are small, I have one here among my Marchal 750's that I did take off one of the 90's Escorts. I have used the generic style ones mentioned on my old 89 Probe GT which IIRC had the same as the 87-8 TC originally.

Thanks for checking. Your solve my curiosity. I thought maybe they would look cool because they have the black cats on them like the 83-86 TC.

Hey Rdog I just noticed these on Dads Yamaha golf cart.

They measure 6"x3", which is a really close fit.
