1966 Park Light Upgrade?
Has anyone done the 1966 front grill Park Light upgrade to a later Bronco? I definitely want to do it on my 1973 that had the larger Park Light buckets and lenses.

That is really smooth! I like the look and goes with the minimalist theme I am going for. Is it just new lenses with the later edition large buckets or do you need the smaller buckets as well?

as far as I know, you need the whole kit. The larger buckets wont fit right. I think those look so much better than the big lenses. They seem like they were an afterthought to some new government regulation about size and color.

Right - the grill should have been modified for the larger buckets required by the government. I could not believe there was a sexy light hole hiding beneath the large bucket and yellow lamp. I will weld the hole closed from the large bucket mount. Thanks Clint - guess I will add large buckets to my list too.
