They look like e body, or repops. I don't see the dhrysler insignia. A mustang has a close resemblance to them, but the lense for the bulb install a little different and you have to remove the cross bar. They do work tho. Yours look like the right version, but cant tell by that pic if a repop.

Mine has a small pentastar on the back, the stud is different and the wire coming out the back is different. From the front they look the same for what its worth.

100 bucks is most prob repops, but still a very good price. brackets are around 45 bucks. 70 and 71 are differnt brackets.  As I said, mine had a chrysler insignia on them, but those will work graet, and no body will really notice the difference once they are installed. Unless in a serious judging show.    It's a good buy. You can still buy GE bulbs for 7 bucks each. Napa car quest and other stores still carry them.

Those are mustang units, probably can be bought cheaper if you shop around.  Several differences including where the wires come out, no pentastar stamp and rivets

In ur photo on the back shown is SAE  F 85 MG,  no star. repop? Mustang?

Should say Fog on the lens, do both lamps have the chrome bezel?
The one facing down looks like it is missing chrome bezel.....Is there a photo with both front lamps?
As mentioned NAPA sells the GE FOG lamps.  26.00  if u can get discount 18.00.
Expensive if u do not have the switch, wiring and brackets.  As mentioned 70 and 71 different hardware.

  They were mid 60s era, when you shop them, you will see they had a bar across the light bulb.  That bar is part of the chrome bezel, it can be ground down.  They are cheap, somewhat close option, but the guy is full of BS saying they are NOS.

Purchased a pair of these years ago from Glaziers:

Cut out the bar and ground the edges of the bar and these will work as a low cost alternative.

  I need to replace the road lamps that were taken off my car at on point and then lost. I was checking into the mustang lights and there is one available that has the chrome bezel with out the bar across it. I also went to B/E & A , and Rosevile's sites and priced out all pieces listed for a complete set up and it came out to about  $910.00 .  That NOS piece listed by JayBee is    :screwy:
