I've been kicking around an idea for 66 mustang fog lamps and was wondering if you all had any suggestions.
What I was thinking was taking a shelby front valence and mounting a set of 3-4" foglamps maybe about half a foot inboard from each of the turn signals, either recessed or set up like the turn signals with a trim piece surrounding them. Does this sound doable? dave

Maybe you could use GT exhaust rings for the trim? Probably too small though? People might make fun of ya if you do that though?I think it would look better with trim but thats my opinion.

Call David Turnbull 954-742-6479. He was mfring a valance that had lights in it like the 007 Mustang. I sam him a couple weeks ago and was loking at the one on his car. It's sharp. He uses GT lights in the valance. He lives in the Ft Lauderdale, Fl. area. He comes onto to M&M once in awhile.

Nope, I just made my own mount for the fogs and drilled a hole in the valance.

Heres what Idid to my 65 before I sold it. Sorry no photos.
I put a shelby valance for use with a bumper. I mounted a set of fog lights from the local 4X4 shop where the turn lights should go. I then had the fake vents near the head lights cut out using the 3 openings. I found a Amber turn light at the salvage yard (sorry it was on a shelf) and made a bracket to hold it behind the 3 openings.I was going to find a set of these chrome vent pieces to put on it but didn't.I also cut the gravel pan and bumper,(closed off the ends) so that the air opening was totally free of obstruction. You may use this idea. e- mail my if you want more details ------------------

I just have to say the lights really look good. I had toyed with doing that to my '68 Fastback with some megawatt 4" KC Hi-lites. I had cut away the tag location to add a path for more air to the radiator like a Shelby. I then cut the holes on either side of the opening, but the car was sold before completion. It's nice to see the finished results. Charlie

I am thinking about putting in some lights on my mustang and getting rid of my traditional fog lights for my 65. In search of info this is something I found. A cool front valence! I am unsure of the lights used on the car yet here are the links.  A cool front valence! I am unsure of the lights used on the car yet here are the links.

Those are sharp. They're similar to the 007 Mustang valance. The light bodies remind me of some I saw on a different vehicle.

Believe it or not, the original design for my valance goes back to 1965. Andy Hotton Industries of Bellview Michigan made these in 65. Their kit, which included the valance, GT lamps, wiring and switch, cost a total of $49. I've got one of their ads from a 1965 Car Life magazine. I tried to find one of these for years and I found out that Charlie Hampton, past MCA president had one and bought it from him. Turns out that this is the one PonyDoc is talking about.Dan, you are correct, it does look like Trans Am lights, now you know where they got the idea from. Mike

That was the original 007 car! Bob McClurg of Mustangs Illustrated did an article about it 10 years ago. I'll see of I can find it, as it had a lot of info on the car. It had an overhead console w/ tach & Rally Pac. It was a real GT that was modified for the movie and was never used. One of these days I'll visit it and compare the valences. Either way, they look neat on a car. Anyone ever see a Roadster Cover on an early Mustang! I got one from California about 10 years ago and they really change the look of the car!!

Ok, I posted the picture yet looking at Kcodes I now fell in love with the idea! I am glad I have not painted my shelby valence yet. I want it, I need it on my valence. Time for some R & D. Any leads on remaking that? I want that on my car, PIAA or Hella fog lights in place instead with the same mounting.PS Nice car cover..he he ------------------
