Glen,

	My '86 5KCSTQ has running lights inboard and integral with the
headlights.  There are double lenses which reduce the light output 
substantially, but you can run around at dusk with these things.  I guess 
they are not very well aimed either, and with anything more than about 
10-12 watts, you will blind oncoming traffic.  I have bulbs in there with 
a little more wattage than stock, and I get flashed all the time.  But, 
they look so yellow compared to the headlights!  I really want to build 
some really nice headlights!

	As another point of reference, I saw the headlights from a '91 
200TQ last week, and they are identical to mine.
