Gen1 front headlights in gen2+ models??


Recommended Posts

first off not sure if this should go in retrofitting or not since they did come in some models...

Has anyone tried fitting older 4square lights in newer gen2+ car models with the single 2 headlights? I kinda am itching to see what they would look like on my sedan gl10 when its lowered :confused:, i think it might turn out quite nice if done right (and unique:headbang:). only pic ive seen is of the red coupe with em in an old brochure i have which is online here.

I dont think all the wiring will be there. The composite headlights we have now only have 1 plug leading to them, and the quad headlights you want will use 2 plugs on each corner. You'd probably need to locate the relays and swap all the wiring for them.

the wiring shouldnt be TOO complex to figure out, but the stock relaying shouldnt need to be changed... its just a matter of making a custom adapter harness to take the single piece, three prong plug and plug it into two different two prong lights... right? im not sure im visualizing the back of the headlight assemblies correctly or not

On my "gen2" (EA81) the outter lights have three pins (because they are lo and hi beam) and the inner have two pins. Not sure it this is the same for the EA82 DL's though...
