See http://www.qadas.com/~kanas/Vehicles/Syncro/South_African_Grille_Procedure.html  Point 4.0 shows the removal of a riveted tab that is used in the rectangular light installation.  I removed it in order to install the SA grill, and it may be essential for the original.

> I want to pull some SA lights off a van and replace with original 86-91 style ones (I want to keep the SA ones when I sell the van).  I didn't install them, so no sure if anything was cut or otherwise done that makes it a pain to go backwards.  In a normal install is anything cut or thrown away that that I will need?   Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks, Dave
