1987 to 1986 Cutlass Front Conversion?

Not all '87-88 euro clips are created equal muahahahaa.....

Very nice

Hmmm. Not necessarily true. Most guys in my area prefer the 81-86 front end.

Sorry I meant around Phoenix not the people on this forum. I had a craigslist add for a complete euro front clip off a 87 and it was sold in a day and i kept getting emails on it for a week until i took the ad down. I had a 86 nose for sale and ended up saving the headlight buckets and trashing the rest because no one wanted it. Seems like the lowrider guys out here love the flush headlights.

i myself like the 81-86 front ends. you can sell yours for up to 500.00 and get what you need for a couple hundered. i got a 83 nose in my attic i paid 150.00 complete. bought it to have a spare.

Let me know if you're interested in selling it. I'd pay double that. Lol.

Well, got the header panel, lights, grilles, light bezels, hood ornament, and bumper cover. Just needs paint. Gonna be a shame to paint that bumper cover, I want to just paint my car to match it. Am I missing anything? What size bulbs do these headlights take?

Out of curiosity, where did you find them, and how much did you pay, if you don’t mind sharing?

Black header panel with lights and grilles was off ebay for $245 shipped. White header panel with lights was local, I think I did $100 with a few more parts I needed. Black bumper cover was ebay for $265 shipped. The shipping made the eBay parts a bit pricier since the boxes are so big for these parts.

I recommend trying the offerup app. Found a lot of good Cutlass parts locally at great prices. I guess it's the new craigslists.

Those headlights are just the H4656 lows & H4651 highs in halogen. Double check the plugs & how they were converted for the newer front as the 9004 bulbs use different ones.

Thank you. Will do. So I might have to buy the bases that holds the bulb and plugs into the harness then?
