Single headlight to dual headlight conversion

[78 Square]

Hey guys, I'm switching from the single headlights to the dual and I was curious if the headlight buckets and headlights are the same size as the single headlight or if they're smaller. My adjustment screws in buckets just won't seem to match up right with the clips. My guess is because they're smaller. Thanks in advance

Yep. They use a different core support with the dual headlights. Different buckets and locations.

Are you doing this on the '78 you have listed under your avatar?

Yea I am. whoever had it before me put an 82 front clip on it. I ended up having to replace both fenders, inner fenders, and core support. They let it sit out in the grass and that just killed it. It only had the single headlights but I bought a dual headlight core support and it looked like I needed to get smaller buckets. I just wanted to confirm that for sure

Yeah, all those pieces are different between the 2 styles.

Alright thanks, I appreciate it

The smaller headlights also are wired differently even though the plug is the same. So if using your existing harness, you need to re-pin the headlight plugs.
