My sons 83 bird has a gb light, it is a different style light though. My 87 bird doesnt, my 86 Cougar does and the dash I took from a 86 Cougar has it

My 1984 came with the light group. Courtesy lights in the glove box, console compartment and under each side of the dash. The 83-84 models use round standard Ford issue glovebox lamps that install in a simple hole about 1 1/2" round. The lamp in the glovebox is identical to the one in the console compartment. Curiously though, the round inside rear quarter panel trim lights were not included in this light group so I found some in a salvage car so equipped.

On a side note, when I harvested the passenger side power seat track from a 1985 Lincoln Continental to use in my Bird, that Lincoln had these interesting courtesy lamps that mounted under the front seats on both sides.
