Square base or Pedestal, that is the question.
Paul's 1996 Registry, page 117 illustrates a Square Base Lucas fog light. Page 118 illustrates a Lucas light utilizing the Pedestal retrofit. The description says the pedestal installation method started April 26, 1968.
My car was built March 1, 1968 - prior to the pedestal configuration date, and it has the square base Lucas lights mounted directly to the lower grille panels as shown on page 117.
I presently have the grille all apart, bringing things to a correct status (dark gray grille mesh, dark gray lower grille panels) and I have the pedestal parts, but am wondering if I should install the pedestals or leave things the way they left the factory/dealership. What do you think?
