Phizinza Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I know the fenders are the same. And I know the metal behind the light is different. I think the mounting points are the same, but I thing there is some metal in the way behind the light.. Not 100% sure, but I'd say it would be possible with little work. You also have wiring you need to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 yeah, do a search for headlight swap, keep an eye out for Monstaru's thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAugur33 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Just curious, why would you want to have less lights ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAugur33 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 So, you can HID the single lights but not the double? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldDiggerRoo Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Core supports are different, you'll have to cut some. I had a full single square/cyclops setup for my last EA81 wagon, but after realizing I was going to have to cut the core support I got lazy and sold it.

970subaru Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 cutting/clearancing isnt a problem as long as all the correct tabs are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoyl Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Bumper is different too I think...I know an 83 Leone I looked at with quad lights had the indicators in the bumper itself, while my single-light has the indicators next to the headlight. I guess you could leave the indicators in the bumpers and have two sets working I also recall - and this isn't specific to the question asked - that the early metal bumpers use a slightly different method of attachment to the fender sheetmetal than the later plastic bumpers (I retrofitted from plastic to metal).
