I thought about 7inch, which if you go back in history was a size deamed suitable for Front Lamps from the Lucas Scale/standardise size (Although Lucas didn't make all lights, Cibie, Hella, Bosch, Kolio etc addered to this standardisation for many years).
Hence most (I say most I know there were always rectangular 'specials' etc.) cars up to about 1980 had 7inch round headlamps or if 'Twin Headlighted' they would by 5 3/4inch sized.

Ebay link doesn't work for me either. When I said 7inch I didn't mean you could interchange ever lamp with ever car across the world (there would be slight Angle of back shell differences/mouthing points etc.) Beetle 7inch will not interchange with Ford 7inch (Although I know 5 3/4 inch Leyland Lights Allegro Equipe, Dolly Sprint will interchange with 70's Celicas) Also with regard to lamps alot of Foriegn Countres kept using BPF Bulbs whereas Britain Used 'Sealed beam' mainly through the 60's and 70's. P.S Going off topic. Nice Escort, I just looooove those 'German Style' plates  . |

chrome headlamp eyebrows? On a Mk 2 Escort? Thats either gonna look absurd, or possibly revolutionary.

If yoyu've got Mk1 Golf headlamps, the eyebrows will fit. I've seen it done on Mk1 Golfs a few times...

Sparkly lights, german plates, headlight brows.... I think you should come clean and tell the world about your secret longing to be a 'dubber!' There's nothing to be ashamed of there you know! Just let it all out!

imo brows look dumb on anything, and they soon rust and look even stupider (is that a word?) your scrote looks the nads as is, if not a little too high ;D |
