I don't think it will hurt the lighting it is pretty transparent and I was thinking of installing britter bulbs too. I just didn't care for the way the red round lights looked on the yellow.

oh dear!! i totally missed that round black light. I was only looking at the tail lights.  Red. REDREDRED.  a black dot sorta looks way out of place.

Go with what you like, but I agree with mojo.  That red is just poppin' on there!  Good contrast

Here is the black doner  sx/4 I just brought home today I am going to take the seat belts and some trim out of it for my yellow one .
I was actually surprised that the frame was not real bad on it . It is to good to scrape out so it may end up as a driver or I may just sell it . It has the 258 with a 4 speed and I got it from the original owner. He quit driving it when the clutch quit on him.

Rear spoilers were optional.  Even on Sport models.

Yeah there is no electric release for the hatch just a key slot were the spoiler isn't .
I am still new to the eagle world so I'm not sure what makes the different models.

A member here sells reproductions. I bought 2 sets just in case. Niether of my Eagles came with foglights though. I still might just put them on new foglightd instead of paying a fortune for Marchals

I will have to check but I think you could get the Marchal fog lamps on any Eagle, as an option of course.  With out looking they could have been part of the Sport package, but then optional on non sport models.   The Ford Motor Company also used the same style Marchal lamps.

Yes the fog lights were an option on NON-Sport models. I can speak from experience on that one at least.
