What headlights for mk2 escort
My escort had square headlights. I've bought the round grill and new headlight bowls but can't find any original head lights for sale. I'm looking for something that fits the original bowls hassle free. I have no fixings etc for them so am looking for a complete kit.
i have read that mk1 golfs fit, seen new lights on eBay but they don't seem to have the tabs to fix the light in. I've read several threads on here but I'm getting lost with it all.
can someone point me in the right direction please. Thank you

I fitted rear reflector Golf Gti mk1 or Mk2 Golf lights into my existing Mk2 Escort plastic bowls, have a look in my posts

i did away with the bowls ,used lots of waxoyl & tape on the connections , and used a mk2 golf set up
Had to drill a golf ball size hole in the front panel for the adjuster , but ...
Never had a problem

Re: What headlights for mk2 escort
Been reading about having to drill the front panel. Are original round lights that hard to come by? I'll look some more into it before buying anything as not sure I want to drill golf ball size holes.

Plenty of 7" headlights available but not flat fronted lenses like Ford used - VW are closest I believe?

Easiest option is fitting the Golf headlights into the Escort bowls, its a pain trying to fit the golf bowls into the front panel....been there

Just for other people who want original mk2 escort head lights....mk2 transit round lights are exactly the same. Flat lense. Correct tabs in the correct place to fit plastic bowls. I bought some because they looked the same and turns out they are.
