Sold individually these are the very hard to find side marker bulbs for your 1968 Cougar. The 1968 Ford Manuals call for a 97N bulb but that is an error believe it or not... As shown in the NOS light below these bulbs came painted, ALL MODERN REPRODUCTIONS ARE MADE WITH AMBER GLASS (See Amber Glass Listing). The paint is very prone to chipping and after examining several NOS lights that we presume have never been opened we found a couple to have been scratched prior to being installed in the bezel. We concluded this by the fact that there was no paint chips lying inside the chamber. All this to say painted is correct but amber is better... REPLACES FORD PART # C8ZZ-13466-A. These will come with some scratches or blem's.
The supplier we were able to get this from can no longer get them,
so when they are gone, they are gone . . .

Often times these bulbs can be difficult to remove after many years of being in place. A little WD-40 and needle nose pliers will usually dislodge the bulb.
These are old bulbs and some show shelf wear. We offer the ones with chipped paint at a substantial discount. We carefully package these so no paint will chip during shipping.
The picture below is of a NOS 1968 Cougar side marker light. From what we can tell the 68's all came with painted bulbs. We suggest the amber colored glass bulbs but we know there are the purists who will want to opt for these original type painted bulbs.
