Don't know about from ford, doubt it, but I bought a new pair last summer.

Can't for the life of me remember the companys name.......GMS Capri spares or something like that.

Cosworth headlights are NOT the same as std headlights in case you didn't know.

With standard Sierra headlights you have to cut away the plastic on the top inner quarter to allow the grill to fit in.... I've done it with mine if you want a picture

some headlights have the additional bracing the cossie ones have so you can chop the offending plastic out and still have the rigidity of the originals but on most they only have one supporting ridge and this leaves that point a little bit weak
