Those are nice. They'd look cool "stacked", too, using two on each side and splitting the running light and turn functions.

Hey 57streetrodbuggy, could you pull a dimension off those bad boys for me? need to cover/fill in the area on the left with turn signals and the Mustang lights might just fill the bill...Wudya think?

sorry spatz the insides (the part that fits in the hole in your fiberglass) are just under 2 7/8 and the trim ring is almost 4 7/8 all the way around

I have a 67 390 GTA and a 68 convertible, and looking at the backup lights on the rear valance panels of those cars leads me to think that they would make great buggy tail lights too.
