Just swapped the euro lights out of our '84 5k and into our new '87 5ktqw.
The euro lights are the one piece style like the non-turbo 5ks and 100s.
Piece of cake.  Only had to make two passes on the grinder to shorten a
connector on the '87 trim to make it fit correctly.  Oh, and cut off part of
the right headlight adjuster screw (plastic) where it rubbed on the plastic
intercooler hose.

Of course, it helps to have both cars side by side.
