So my neighbour is an old coot that's lived in the house down the street since it was new.
Recently, I've got to thinking about his 1991 Buick LeSabre - more specifically the headlights.
I mean, these cars should be plentiful in the yards, they're REAL glass headlights, and on a volvo would be perfect because you could use the stock turn signals and use seperate bulbs for highs and lows - unlike the dynasty headlights that have turn signals and dual filament bulbs.

They look too rounded to work right on an early 700 series front end.

How about a late 80s caprice? Are they glass or plastic?

I have seen the Caprice lights in an early 80's 240. Looks fine.

There's also the Chevy/GMC Pickup. There's lots of aftermarket lamps for those too.

Think that car, but lifted with big ugly ass rims. Like a donk, but scrapers are FWD GM cars. Some of the most retarded **** on earth, basically.

I don't understand the reasoning for his single word post, however....

I can't remember- don't you already have late style 940 e-codes with H4's in them?

I am all for custom stuff, but the 900 series e-codes are really good and look unique. They are huge though, I guess maybe some people want smaller lights....

Yup.
I love my eCodes - best looking lights Volvo ever put on a RWD, and the most attractive except for the S60/V70 R lights.

I agree, the updated E-code lamps on the 89> 760 and all 9series look awesome, the 88 760 lamps look alright too, sqaurer, but not common enough to keep em...

Maybe Cadillac deVille lights.

Mebbe. Beam pattern on the Cadillac lights is kinda odd, tho. Looks like an inverted trapezoid. Decent light, but the H4 beam pattern is much better.

No but on a 240 with it's slanty nose it might look good.
