Re: I have a question about headlites conversion

you could find a grille from a 83-87 truck and mount them behind it like the factory did. You could also do aftermarket signals like LED's and then you could put them just about anywhere. My cousin put the LED's in the grille of his 70 Camaro, and you don't even know they are there until they light up.

Re: I have a question about headlites conversion

Do I have to get the whole grille or the brackets?

Re: I have a question about headlites conversion

I haven't looked to see if you can just mount the brackets behind any grill or not. I have one at home I'll check tonight.

You could just mount the ones you have. It may take some planning to mount them and conceal how they are mounted, but I'm sure it could be done.
