Round peg, square hole. I need to make this:

71785

fit into here:

71786

I've done a bunch of custom fabrication, and my initial measurements - I give it a 50-50 chance. I will have to cut open the back of the housing to make it fit - hopefully there will be no vital organs in there that will get in the way! Worst case scenario I think might be me printing a new housing for the lamps that will make them fit.

Stay tuned...

Ive seen this done to maybe 3-4 deloreans in the past. I think they sourced the light from a Pontiac 6000 or similar.

I think it looks a little goofy but to each their own.

Keep us posted. I have seen others do this before and make custom brackets. I recall "Evil Dan" doing this with Chevy Celebrity housings.

This is somewhat the goal.
