Seems like a 96/97 headlight conversion would be much simpler than trying to fit something from a completely different car.

Cougar guys have it easy, they can just swap in Grand Marquis headlights.
Now that’s funny

I have an empty header panel from a '97 I can measure. It will have to be tomorrow evening as I'm spent having adapted a 3g alt from an escort into my energy conserving 2.3l, 5 speed ranger since that was all on the pick a part lot. Had to shim up a longer bolt on one side and notch the existing bracket. Swapped the pulley and put an eyelet on each charge wire and put a spade connector on the field and bingo. 14.8 volts at idle. $40 beats $180.
