TQC euro lights
I got around to installing the ur-quattro front valence and under body
panels this weekend. I was planning on installing the late model
sloped euro H1/H4 headlights I have acquired, but ran into a snag.
At this point, I would guess that I don't have all the mounting brackets
for these lights.
For comparison, I layed out the euro H1/H4 lights, the US quad
headlights and some brackets for the 85-87 4000/GT headlights.
All these lights mount with 4 screws, 2 on top under the hood and 2
from the front, under the headlight. The quad headlights had front
screws which are accesed from behind the front bumper. The euro
lights seem to mount in the same manner, but the lower front screws
are accesed from behind the lower front headlight trim. To do this,
there must be some sort of lower bracket(s) which the headlight
attaches too, which also attaches to the front sheetmetal from
behind the bumper. Also the upper inner screw on the euro lights
seems to be accesed from the front, not the top. To do this, there
must be a 90 degree bracket which is mounted to the underside
of the upper front crossbrace.
Could someone with these euro lights let me know if the brackets
I am describing are present in their installation and how many
brackets are used.
Thanks.
