I'm looking to install a 1967 Shelby dual driving light setup on a 1968 mustang with a standard front end. Anyone know if there is a grill or grill/light kit made for this swap? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Those weren't driving lights. The 67 Shelby had 4 5" headlights instead of the 2 7" lights of the Mustang. The ones in the grille were the high beams. Shelby intended them all to have the center-mounted high beams, but this turned out to be illegal in some states, so they ended up with two versions.

Also, I don't think they'll fit behind the grille of a standard Mustang setup, at least not the way they are in Shelbys. If you'd like I'll snap some pics of mine soon and post them. It's a simple setup and not much to install, but it does block airflow to the radiator a bit. But the coolness factor offsets any problems in my opinion.

Thanks.

I'd love to see some pics. I really like the look and what to add this to my 68. Any help I can get would be welcomed.

What did you discover?

Hi,
I'm curious what you found regarding the shelby style grill/lights for a standard 1968 front end? I'm looking to do the same. Will it work?!

While I don't have any answers on putting them in a standard Mustang grille, here's some shots of how they attach to a Shelby front end

blast you and you're perfect year round driving weather!!!

I'm thinking of doing the same with my 68 only with the outboard design and using the lowbeam setting of the bulb and tieing them into the fog lights....some relay work but I do alot of driving on low beams/fogs/driving lights
