yeah, will be looking forward to some updates. Although I don't mind the stock lights (love the markers' looks in the evening), the headlights leave a lot to be desired

Yes! Let us know how it goes. The headlights on my '88 leave alot to be desired and I have been wanting to swap them with something better. Not just brighter, but better focused and safer. Like a modern car :)

just about any 80's car had similar headlights to the 83-86 birds/cougs, the camaro's, many k-cars, etc

you can easily buy kits to run H4 bulbs and different headlight buckets for your year, i believe Eric did it, as did one or two other board members

Hey thats awesome! I've wrecked a few lenses from experimenting over the years for the same reason. Ya know, If a company actually produced presision lenses to fit the 87-88 cat or bird, they'd be millionaires! So with that in mind - Good luck to you.
