There's even a neat little cut out of the grille where the securing nut for the lamp goes, very impressive and rather pretty. I tend to agree with Jon and Mart about airflow, on the other hand, if you're not going to use them on your cars Tony, I might try them on my Sprint which will have a much bigger Saab rad, extra cooling vents lower down and (of course) a Vauxhall motor! I already have a matched pair of original Lucas Square 8s which fit where the under riders would normally live, 8 lights might just add up to the same output as my Toledo's 2 square headlights!
All I need then is to find a place to fit the front number plate that wont obstruct, or be obstructed by something else!
