Re: '86 5KCSTQ - Euro Light Direct Swap?

["Avi Meron" <avi@cosmoslink.net>]

I'll agree partially.....you do need side marker lights, forgot about
that....but you are referring to the twin bulb light only (Euro
light)............there is another option of Euro light, (I have one) which
is a single light with one bulb (H4) made by Bosch, the light will fit in a
turbo Q (with the new side maker lights), the old grill will fit, but not
well, you do need a slanted grill just like the NA 5K, the Bosch single bulb
light has also a parking bulb in it, the lens on this light is glass and
also removable (attached with clips)...........
