To tell you the truth Dustmaker I haven't even tried unpluging the headlight yet . I am just gathering parts at this point . I am going to feel awful foolish if it is as easy as unpluging one and plugging in the other

. Foolish but happy .

Thanks again -G

If it's the same type harness like what is in my Headwinds bucket (with an Adjure bulb and lens), they are identical to the harness end for the headlights on my son's Mitsubishi eclipse, and I'm sure many other makes of cars. Probably an Autozone etc. would have them.

If that was the case you would be a couple short yourself.

Gary, good news, the ends are the same, so its just unplug one and plug the other in. No harness or wire modifying necessary.

Bad news......If you are very very mechanically inclined, it is going to take you a couple hours just to take one assembly off, and then another couple to install the other. And to install the Nacelle, you really need three hands

As for parts that will interchange.....just the head light itself, whether you use a seal beam or a halogen bulb and envelope! None of the screws even interchange on the retaining rings
