On my '85, the PO upgraded to H4 headlights. I got the lower covers in the box of misc. parts. I can't sort out how they would attach...did the mounting points go away with the light upgrade? Any help is appreciated.

 

I don't remember any difference in attaching the covers on 7" or 8" lights.

 

What lower covers?

For H4's there is no need to change anything but the lamps & maybe the connectors. no need to swap yokes (though some talk about it) cetainly no need to change any body parts (except use of trim ring for 7" & not for 8").

If it is a Euro setup, I can post some pictures, my set is out of the car now so perhaps it will show you the answers you need...

 

The parts I'm trying to find a home for are #15 in the diagram. "cover headlamp casing lower".

 

Well, I am puzzled right now because these parts are not on my car. But I can understand their purpose. It keeps the lenses from fauling up on wet roads I guess. Sort of a splash screen.

 

Did your '85 come with the (M470) spoiler delete option? (From '83, spoilers were standard.)

If you have spoilers then those covers are not installed. 2 & 8 will also be shaped differently than in the diagram.

 

Right #15 sits at the bottom of the fender....far from the headlight and ONLY on no spoiler cars. Plus they are often missing, first time I saw one I was wondering what it was.....but it does seal off the fender.

 

I ordered a set today. I wonder what they look like!

 

They look just like the diagram, made of the same plastic as the splash shields.


I had (an abused, non-running) '80 for a short time which had them.

 

So their installation is unrelated to H4's?

Really related to the type of fender splash shields fitted? never seen these

Correct they seal off the bottom of the fenders mount horizontal to the ground....

 

PorKen nailed it-- it's a spoiler car, so they would be NA-- great info-- thanks
