Far as I know, none come from Ford-USA. There are several varieties, 
probably depending on local laws which change periodically. Early Euro- cars got 
small round ones on the front fenders only, similar to (or maybe identical 
to) early Mangusta while U.S cars got the familiar rectangular ones. Later in 
full production, probably due to Ford's stamping plant at Vignale making 
only one variety of fender with a rectangular hole, some Euro cars got the same 
rectangular bezel with what looked like pencil-shaped yellow reflectors 
attached to the flat central section, and some of those had internal light 
bulbs while others did not. Just more variety for trivia buffs. Cheers- J Deryke
