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.

Credit to Dave. As he told me he swapped in a used set with no problems.
