Definately ambers. I even have them on my 4x4. Strange that nowadays everyone likes the ambers while 10-20 years ago al ambers got replaced by clear ones.

Hi Marc, I was one of them, years ago swapped over to clear ones as it seemed to be the " in " thing! I was lucky to get a pair of brand new old stock amber ones from Motomobil a couple of years ago.

They are getting hard to find if you want genuine Ford ones, pattern ones are still fairly easy to get.

Again I’m another one for ambers, like most of us we all changed to clears because it made them look more modern back in the day, now we all want them to look original for their year.

if you can only find used original ones they can be made to look like new with the Maguares plastic headlight renovation kit if they are not cracked, mine now look as good as new.

did you find original headlights or have you used the cutting template I sent you?

Try motomobil.
but they will be about 60 quid each.

2wd cars was ment to have the vented bonnet but ford dropped it at the last minute and fitted them to the 4x4's
I like ambers and 4x4 bonnet.
