Straight swap. Easier than you think. Big difference for me as on closer inspection the reflectors on the old set were pitted with rust.
Successful day today replacing the o-rings on the beehive. Love that new oil smell.

Both cars use the same 7 inch diameter lamps. Standard size for a lot of Jap models.RamoNZ wrote:Awesome reference note - how did you fgure they would fit??redarrow wrote:Straight swap.
