I have a perfect quad set, that came off my ex-5000s '85 FWD. On that
car I went through (an admittedly dumb) trapezoid DOT 9004 headlight
conversion. Did not improve the lighting a bit, although looked better.

If anyone is interested in following Scott's suggestion, you can have
those complete quad assys. Make me a (reasonably low) offer.
