Title: Escort Marchall fog lights
Post by: vinnietbird on August 18, 2007, 06:24:41 PM
I was digging around some boxes of old parts in the garage,and found a set of Ford Escort Marchall fog lights.They are a little more than half the height of the TC Marchall light,but appear to be just as wide.I forgot I had them.I'll try to get a pic later.They have the little black cat faces in the middle as well.Just like a shorter version the TC lights.Has anyone seen these before,or are they any kind of rare?

I got some Marchal lights (750) from an old Escort EXP at a junkyard. They seemed to be the same size as the other ones.
Look for the number on the lense. If it reads '750', they are likely the same as the Turbo Coupe/XR-7/Mark VII.

It sounds like the Marchal light that was used on the '89-'90 Escort GT's. They were smaller than the more common style that we are used to on the early Turbo Coupes & XR-7's among many others.

Yep,that's them,the shorter version.They just got my attention today.I had 3 or 4 pairs of the TC lights a month ago,sold them all.I'm going with aftermarket lights on my Bird.Factory appearing,but aftermarket.

The 87-88 fog lights where also used on some of the GM's from the 80's to early 90's. (try the Grad Am's for instance:D)

I found a really nice set of aftermarket lights that have snap on plastic covers and I'm going with them.Since my car is a Sport with a TC bumpercover ,nose and hood,it doesn't need OEM lights.As long as they work better than factory and appear as though Ford installed them,I'm good.
