Mk1 or 2, mk1 can be sealed beam if it's early, all mk2 have bulbs if they are square, some have sealed beam if they are round. Easy to see if you have a bulb from the rear of the unit.

Mk1 sealed beam. Mk2 phase1 round are (early 78-81) sealed beam, late bulbs, all square are Halogen, as are all phase2s. The headlights don't have separate glass. The sealed beams are handed. Square headlights not handed.

Metal grille is a phase1, yes. All my spare headlights are phase2 and a different fitting.

ok so new headlight arrived today, but fixing points different. looks like phase 2
my light has two hooks for adjusters and one fixing point at bottom right corner
new light adjusters are sockets on back with a fixing point in the middle at bottom...
can you get new bowls for phase 2 light ? that seems easiest way to solve problem
cheers broon

Phase 2 has a different method of fixing, you would need to convert to phase2 front panel, a lot of work!

When you say bowl, do you mean the bit that the bulb goes through? The phase2 light doesn't have a separate bowl.

I heard they were the same as the escort, but wasn't sure if the fixings were the same.
