Subject:Square Headlight >>Downgrade<< Kit

I am in the process of downgrading the headlights on my '86
Syncro from the stock rectangular configuration to the old fashioned
round kind.

A round eye grill and buckets from an '8? that I got from the
Bus Depot will be transplanted into the existing space. I may try
and keep the square driving lights if I can figure out to modify
the grill in a cosmetically appealing manner.

The biggest thing holding be back right now is my hesitation to
cut the existing wires to replace the terminals. I may rewire the
headlights so that I can maintain a 'return to stock' option.

The basic job is bang simple and could be done in just a few hours.
It is going to take me much longer to clean and polish the old/new
grill.
