850 Possible Headlight swap.......Pleas Help 850

Thanks for your time. I have a 94 base 850, with a broken passenger headlight lens. I've used clear duct tape, however it is time to fix it. My headlights are the "single bulb" kind, and the lens seem to be far more expensive then the dual bulb lens. I might have a chance to buy two complete but used "dual bulb" headlights for under $100. Can I swap between the single bulb lights and dual bulb lights without any electrical changes? If not, anybody know where I can get a cheap passenger lens or headlight for a single bulb? Thanks for the help.

850 Possible Headlight swap.......Pleas Help 850

I have a 1993 850. When I bought it it had twin bulb lights from a newer car, so they do go in. The problem though is they are 1 inch narrower so there is a 1 inch space under the light that the headlight wipers fall into. The trim piece from a newer 850 is 1 inch taller to take up that space. If you found a trim piece you would need to cut down the part that goes under the turn signal lenses as they are 1 inch longer on your car. The lights do bolt in solid and the top and side match perfect.

Try www.fcpgroton.com for your lenses. I think you can get replacements for about $100 per set.
