Subject:      Need Help with South African Light Kit.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

So after the South Dakota tornado on June 30 had its way with my van, I had
to replace my grille... I opted for the South African, seeing as I already
had the round headlights and pockets.
What I've found out is that the lights for the high intensity kit, do not
fit in the current head light casing.  First, there is a metal piece that
appears to cover the bulb (which I can/did remove) in order to accommodate
the length of the bulb.
Once I removed that bit, I noticed that the circumference of the bulb is
smaller than the opening. >.<  (that's what she said)...
Anyway, I have the grill, the bulbs... but no light.  I already swapped the
8" plugs for the new bulbs...  As for the smaller, inner lights, the
attachment/plug from the '87 model, is two parallel plugs, not the  'T'
config of the 80/100W.  How have those of you with the SA Kit, managed to
fen-angle it to work?
