If you are looking for an original sport lamp for your Mach 1 or Boss Mustang and can’t find one, here is a tip for you. Often times, reproductions are not available and originals are scarce.
If you don’t mind using a substitute for an original sport lamp, there is a substitute that is readily available.
Find an early Ford Maverick or Mercury Comet GT (1969-1972). The sport lamps on these vehicles are very similar to Mustang sport lamps. The list below outlines the similarities and differences:
SIMILARITIES
- Mustangs, Mavericks and Comets used the same chrome bezel.
- Mustangs, Mavericks and Comets used the same lens and light housing.
DIFFERENCES
- The wire pigtail and plug differed on all cars and varied from year to year.
