1968 Fog light covers

[mbsf1970]

Up where I live (Calgary, Alberta) the roads dep't uses pebbles in winter for increased traction in winter driving. That leaves plenty of chipping possibilities to paint and fog lights come spring.

As a result, I am wanting to get some period correct Lucas fog light overs for my (as yet to be shipped) gt/cs.

Can anyone post a pic of what they look like? (I've seen 2 variations already)

What would a fair price be for a pair? Thanks,
Stephen

As there is no "correct" its really kinda moot. IMO I'd just buy the cheapest pair as paying a premium for a period correct part that is not really correct seems a waste.

That said, see this link

I managed to pick up a set from Tony Branda late last year. Their website showed the square hole set, but in the description, there was mention of the ones shown in the attached link with the small round hole. I know that they are not technically correct for the GT/CS, but I really like the way they look. See my avatar photo.

Cobranda has a pair on E bay for $95.00
On E bay type in Lucas fog light covers on E bay motors. I've seen them as low as $50 for a pair.

Saw those but didn't buy immediately because I honestly didn't know if the price was fair or high??

They say NOS without the box. You could wait till you see a pair for $50 though.

$95 is a reasonable price. About the average I have seen. If you want some I'd buy 'em as they are not an extremely common item.

You "can" find them for less, and likely will see a pair at $50.. but only if you buy these. I if you don't you'll only find more expensive ones... at least that's how it seems to work for me!! :wink:

Mine cost almost that much last year. Got them from Branda and they are perfect. I have not seen cheaper ones on eBay in over a year watching.
