Title: MK1 Square to round headlight question.
Post by: dennis on January 26, 2010, 10:24:48 am

Will single early round headlights, and grill fit in an 80 square headlight Caddy without a core support swap??

not exactly, the buckets for round lights are set wider than square lights, so you may have to do some trimming/drilling to get the rounds to sit right in the grill.

Except you need the correct fenders to pull this look off. With square fenders you will have a gap where the old marker light went.

Thats a westmoreland setup... so you would be correct on that!

But your still going to need to put in a new core support.
