I think the other issue is the grill. 87 + up have a lower profile grill that's wider than the tall hood 78-85 240's grill.
I have an 84 & 81 240s and want to convert one to the quad round lamps form the 4x6 rectangulars. I have been on a quest for a trade or freeebies. I found a set in the junkyard and they wanted $50 per side!!! Dream on. I've got 2 extra sets of quad rectangles with buckets and hardware in my garage now. One pair is new. I made my own headlamp covers from clear plexi, but I want that retro-70's round lamp look. J.C. Whitney sells the round lamps without the H4 bulbs. AutoZone has Wagner, Krypton and Sylvania bulbs which seem OK. I've always got my bulbs free from the junkyard and other cars I've bought for parts. You can find the bulbs you need in just about anything from GM & Fords to Imports. Just make sure to wipe them down with alcohol to get the grease from your hands off the bulbs, otherwise they won't last very long. I've got years of use from freebie bulbs.
The dumbest thing I've done is buy a headlamp bulb from the dealer for $36.
No more.
