Converting from square to round head lamps

Post by MrD »

Really like the look of round lamps,who has done this,and what lamps did you use ?
Is it just a case of bolting the housings in place,and connecting them up ?

The MK1 Grille will fit but it does require slight modifications along the top of the grille (chooping down) I had a mk1 grille fitted to my Scala with E30 BMW lights, here's how it looked
