Converting from square headlights to round ?

Post by **matt-the-sign** » 21 Feb 2008, 14:44

I've got a square headlight 1990 van and want to fit the twin round headlight conversion .... thanks to you guys I know where to get the grill and lights but what is involved with changing the headlights over ... not worried about the electrics, more the headlight bowls / holders ... is the bodywork different or is it a simple bolt in job ???

It's all just screwed in place.

i dont think the round ones are as bright as the square ones.unless you modify the wiring loom.iirc..

Rob is correct, if you are going to do the conversion then put in relays.
I have a twin round setup (SA) over/relays and they are bright enough.

You will be missing 2 mountings for your grille.
