Ok. So the headlights are in. Seems only the passenger side has all of the vacuum parts so I will eventually get them all and make that work. All I had to do was to put the pins in the correct plug like has been said here and add a pigtail to the marker lights so the cool little markers in the headlights work too. A little time consuming but remarkably easy to do. Changing out the grille from the coupe as well as it is a bit nicer. Thinking of painting all of the grey slats black. I think it will look sharp with the Euro lights and black body color. Oh how nice it is to work on a well engineered piece of machinery with nearly no rust after working on my rusty Subaru.
