Hi Guys,
Does anyone have a source for the Escort Mk4 Rear Lights used on the S series ?
Earlier this year I re-assembling my car after a complete body off chassis rebuild and have now had the body re-sprayed.
One of the rear lights has a slight crack starting and it seems a shame to put this back on an otherwise pristine car.
I am sure that this issue has been raised previously but I am not getting far with searching through the forums.
What has happened, the current PH search engine is a nightmare, I had trouble even finding any of my previous topics.

Ebay item no 261971062397 (same as above)
I noticed there are not many of the rear lampholders advertised. They are usually the problem area with their grotty corroded tinfoil circuit strips.
They were never very good on the Escort

Hi Guys,
The latest on my rear lights.
The Ebay purchases arrived very quickly and both were certainly "as new" if not actually new. Arrived in their boxes.
I removed my old ones a fitted the new so everything is now "tickety boo" on the lights front (actually rear!).
I now have a spare pair of original Ford Escort Mk4 rear lights.
The offside one (TVR S offside, Escort nearside) is undamaged the nearside (TVR nearside) one has a small crack in the indicator lens, but only in non-illuminated side panel part of the lens. so still functionally sound.
Thanks for all the pointers.

My spares stock is expanding much quicker than my garage.
Already have a spare engine (complete and running), spare exhaust pipe (unused), spare dashboard (S1) complete with instruments, spare door cards, spare targa panels (need recovering) spare roof hoop (needs recovering)and sundry other things.
I do like to keep things that "may come in handy one day"!
I think it is called "hoarding"....

Have I put mine on the wrong way round?
Looks like yours are fine,
It must be the Escort that has managed to mount them upside down!
It would seem that I have been propagating a myth but I am sure that somewhere in the dim distant past I was advised that when fitted to the S these lights were mounted upside down.
I have just checked my S and even the FORD logo is the right way up.
My apologies please ignore previous references to Ford Escort or TVR S mounting the rear lights upside down.
