They are from the Austin Maestro. *Montego's were sloped and totally different

Seen a few fitted with them and apparently they aren't a straightforward fit.

Mind you - with the prices of OEM squares gone crazy it makes you wonder exactly how much hassle Maestro lights are?

Anyone got any idea about them?

when i get round to it .................. :roll:

ive got LT square lights to go on mine.
they dont quit fill the space on the grill so added to the end will be a pair of mk2 golf small bumper indicators. (well the clear audi oe hella ones infact)

think it should look good.. i will use the indicators as running lights.
WHY T3's.... because they are just so adictive, and having one just aint enough

I found out that the round twin ford capri lights will fit nicely in the square grille holes but jus havent bought any yet! Plus the Capri boys update those lights with the bmw halos from the the 3 series so wont be a cheap conversion but def very effective! :ok

i ran lt single rectangle in mine for a while.

just never got round to cutting a propper grill.
never fitted them to my new van , still have them tho mount frame is the same size as the oem t25 squares, you just need to extend the mount tabs.

i`ve 90% fitted maestro lights. its not too bad you just have to be a little brave when cutting and hacking the body of the lamp away. then a couple of metal brackets made up and your done. dont think you`d have easy job of adjusting them. would be a case of spacing the brackets and getting it right then leave well alone.

Word is that they're only going to do lhd as that's where the money is :( not enough numbers to justify re-tooling for rhd.
