Joules, thank you for your photo. Last night I did a preliminary quick check behind my bumper and I do not see the larger hole where you have a small light installed. My car is a European one that was imported to the U.S. and not sold by a Lincoln/Ford dealership (as I outlined in another post titled History of Chassis 02778) , so I think maybe originally it had the bumperettes and when transformed to the GT5 body in the 80s, this larger L-bumper was put on. Heaven knows why. If that is the case, then I imagine it would be much easier to take off this big bumper and install "eyebrow" bumperettes without having to do body work and fill in the larger holes, which don't seem to be there on my car. I won't know for sure until I remove the entire bumper, which I hope to do this week. Really crossing my fingers on this one.
