Quick Question re: Tail Lights

[pdavison]

Just a quick question:

I know the rear lights in an 'S' are from an Escort (mk4), but are they fitted the correct way up or up-side-down ?

If someone could tell me it would be much appreciated !

Thanks

Paul

That would be 'PAIR' or 'PEAR' or maybe 'PARE' ......must be time to go home soon !!!!

Wasn't that a 60's coupe? The Sunbeam Apir... rich.

Hate to throw a spanner in the works but mine are the right way up!

Just a tweak on Leebee spanner, so are mine - the right way up I mean.

Could it be that the logo appears upside down on some rear lights because Ford only make one hand, and then turn one over to make a 'pair'.

I'm sure mine are the right way up too.

Cheers,

Lee's right, they are not upside down.

Check out the back of a Mk4 Escort, the iner part of the lights go "down, and out"

Just like your S.

Sorry for the mis-information chaps . R...

Ted had better change the description in his S parts section then:

Rear Light Clusters
S28M 10001/2
1988 Escort MK IV (upside down, so get the opposite side!)

Cheers :-)

Just bought a pair from the scrap yard, £15 the pair, and they fit the right way up. Had to climb over and under other cars piled on top of each other and brake me arms in two places to get to the nuts, but there in good nick. Dont forget to get the ones with the black edges!

Thanks guys !

I've got the red and tint versions (very Max Power on an Escort but contrast nicely with the Burgundy on my 'S'). One has been cracked by someone in a car park and I want to ensure I buy the right one as they're quite expensive !

Cheers
