The height is perfect but looks like they are too long.. DOH! I'll try to stuff them in and see how they fit.

BTW if you see these 89 90 glass caprice lights at a yard, they get $40 to 80 EACH on ebay. The lowrider guys love converting the quad lamp cars over to "euro style" lights.

They do seem a little big. Glad you are checking this out.

I used a set of 89 Caddy headlights on my R/V. The bulb is within .100in, of a dual sealed beam + retainer ring.
Check the wormgear adjusters(most are seized) before you buy um at a JY. Also there are several different variations for 87-90 GM cars .Olds,Buick and Pontiac all have deviations specific to the car model.IE Angled or sloped lenses.I also considered trying the conversion on my 86 Daytona.
Removing the mounting brackets is the real trick.

Yeah I'll sell these and try something shorter. Was it fleetwood you used? I noticed those look shorter but the same height due to the side lights.

Those look taller.
Time to go to the wrecking yard with a measuring tape.
