Bulb, housing, or complete?  Going by memory, the bulb isnt 3.5 to 4 inch diameter.  Depth is thin , like 2,5 I believe. Car Quest sells the bulbs for 7 bucks. 65 mustangs had just about the same set up. The bulb is the same size, the housing will work, the lens cover is different.

Here's some info from my spare.

Diameter looks to be: 4 1/4, I take no responsibility for the Dollarama Chinese tape measure.
 

Thickness - face to connectors: 2 3/8, Subract about 1/2 inch from glass to glass.
