Title: Swapping faces
Post by: TheCowboyKiller on November 27, 2014, 10:34:18 AM
Hey guys,

I'm interested in swapping the aero face on my 87 to the 83-86 four eye face. I already have an 85 as a donor. Is this a straight forward procedure?

Thanks and happy thanksgiving!

The actual headlight wiring is different. I believe the switch and inside wiring is the same. I haven't done this myself, but i would assume you just splice the 4eyed headlights harness into your existing one.

A relay mod for the headlights will help your switch work longer. The headlights power runs through the ignition switch and headlights switch.
