If you’re already cutting and welding your box Spridget to eradicate rust holes, why not use that skill to make your car your own. One of the most dramatic cosmetic improvements that can be made to the front end is also a remarkably subtle one. Stand back, watch and grin as other enthusiast scratch their heads trying to figure out how and why it looks different. Before reading on, have a look at the before and after photos.
Here’s how to replace the rectangular marker lights with round lights. In addition to improving the appearance, most rectangular units are plastic, and the round units are glass.
Step 1 Buy two 58-61 Bugeye marker lights from Moss Motors
Step 2 Remove rectangular units
Step 3 Find middle location between original 2 mounting holes
Step 4 Cut patch panels and weld in place
Step 5 Drill three holes for round lights
Step 6 Install round lights
Step 7 Step back and enjoy the view
