while this is a totally pointless upgrade (maybe i should refer to it as a
"downgrade" - as the DOT square lights SUCK - you will find this out really
soon..the only gain is aesthetics..);  to complete this round to square conversion
you will need the square light wiring connectors/plugs  and about a foot of
wire for splicing (2 each side), and that little metal tab that was poprivited
to the body from each square bucket..

other than that, its self explanitory..

have fun driving with your hi- beams on all the time now :<)
