Ask Dr Science:

The two headlight types swap interchangeably about as easy as swapping late
model alloys onto an early AC van.  Years ago I swapped headlights between
my '80 camper and '88 GL.  Just yesterday I swapped roundies onto an '86
Syncro...my '89 Bluestar has em, too.

I have a masters degree...IN SCIENCE!
