Subject:Re: Square Headlights on an '85?

Stick to your stock grill and round lights. Much Cheaper. I have square
lighting that came on my '88 GL. It Sucks. To upgrade to the later H4's like
from Hella is expensive. I am planning to upgrade to the SA quad grill with
the round lights. Already have the buckets for the swap but I had to buy them
off of an "85 GL junker.  You already have the buckets. Might be the way for
you to go.
