That light is used in countless Ford applications. My 92 F250 has the same light. Mustangs, Capris, Cougars on and on.

I thought I would post this. It tells a little info on the method to madness on the Turbo Coupe. I found it looking for history about the 88 Turbocoupe T-Bird. Enjoy!!


The Turbo Coupe earned the honor of being the Motor Trend Car of the Year for 1987. The 2.3 L turbo-4 now included the air-to-air intercooler that was found in the Ford Mustang SVO and boosted power up to 190 horsepower (142 kW) for the 5-speed manual transmission. New for the Turbo Coupe was a 4-speed automatic rated at 150 horsepower (112 kW). The automatic had detuned turbo boost of 9.5 lbf/in² (65.5 kPa or 0.655 bar) instead of 10 to 15 lbf/in² (70 to 100 kPa or 0.69 to 1.03 bar). Ford's rationale for that was "transmission durability". Otherwise, the Turbo Coupe also came with anti-lock 4-wheel disc brakes, Automatic Ride Control, and 16-inch 225/60VR performance tires.

1988, the final year for the Turbo Coupe, saw only a minor change. The 5-speed manual transmission now allowed the full 15 lbf/in² of boost in all forward gears (as opposed to the first two gears). The Turbo Coupe was replaced in 1989 by the Super Coupe which had a 3.8 L supercharged V6 engine—a radical departure from the old turbo-4. Though the Turbo Coupe only lasted 6 years.

Spooler,
I installed the light cover. It covers the space alright, but is so loose it falls out after awhile. Any ideas about what I could stick it up with which wouldnt be permanent? (May need to change the bulb at some point.) -Kent
