I have added the square headlamps to my car also, although they did not cost

alot.  Actually they cost about $20.  I took the headlamp buckets out of an

70's vintage ford pickup and cut out the round mounting flaged in my

headlamp buckets.  I then shoehorned in the new square headlamps.  The

reduction in open heigth was about 4 inches, and the lights work just fine.

Can also get replacement bulbs cheap anywhere.
