Does anyone have a source for Marchal fog light parts? Does anyone have photos or diagrams of the lights? I think I need lenses and whatever guts hold the bulbs in place.
My car came with the Marchal lights, but it had obviously had a front end collision sometime in the past (radiator support replaced, etc.). The lights weren't installed and the car had a '68 grill (yes, the Marti report says it's a real CS). Some idiot PO crammed a pair of aftermarket $29 fog lights into the Marchal housings and then mounted them like Lucas lights. The front trim rings have some minor damage at the inside corners where they were bent inward to fit the junker lights. I think they can be repaired if new ones aren't available. There is nothing wrong with the backs though!
BTW, Just in case I can't get the Marchals repaired, I do have a set of NOS Lucas lights for a '68 Shelby. I think the only difference is the pedestal. Do the Lucas ones in the pics look right?
Thanks,
Doug
