euro lights, flat vs slanted for 4kq

[J Mawhinney]

I bought a set of early style H4's for my '85 4kq.  They really look strange
and as soon as I can get the money, I will replace with the slanted lights
that are proper for the car.  There are some differences with the mounting
brackets which caused me to switch the brackets with the standard DOT
lights.  All in all, the lights work well but I don't recommend the flat
lights on a late 4k because of appearance.
Hope this helped!
