I really love the look of the older quad headlight setup and of course this wagon has the new style headlights.

Is it possible to put in the older style? I know I'd have to obviously have the headlights, the quad brackets and marker lights. Would I need to change the fenders out as well or are they the same? Also, if anyone has done this, is the wiring a headache to change around?

Thanks!

 

Anything is possible. But the front ends are different and I doubt that all the hassle would be worth it. In the end chances are you'll end up with a botched up "face lift" unless you spend a lot of $,$$$.

 

To do it turn key, you need to swap the hood, the fenders, all headlight hardware and...take a grinder and cut out and swap in the appropriate cowl under the windscreen. Some folks don't do the cowl portion...but it looks funky to me. If you want to change the look subtly AND actually see at night...install e-code headlamps and call it good.

 

thanks for the replies. thatll be too much time and money for me. maybe one day ill come across a pre-86

 

They are not exactly a rarity; pretty easy to find.
