You can make fixed headlights look so much better then this guy did. I don't like his, but I am kinda bias being I made my own that look nothing like his.
Later,

I believe this is AmorgetRS's conversion... IMO, it looks alot better and I had the exact same idea when I had my '87, just didn't have the resources.
