Headlights

Does anyone know of a conversion kit to replace square headlights (say, from an 85 C/10) to the older round style...or has anyone done a custom mod to make this happen...thanks in advance,
Fris

Re: Headlights

in most cases there should be no difference between the light, the only thing differant is one is round and one is square the plug might even be the same for single headlight setups.....

Re: Headlights

I think he's talking about fitting it on the front end of the truck. You can't put a round headlight in the square opening of the '85's headlight bezels.

Takes a front clip swap. Not too hard to do. Jay

Yup. and for a "conversion kit" the junk yard or local adds would be the quickest bet
