the grills are different from composit to sealed beam. if you get the other grill you shoudl be able to just buy composite headlights and be all set

the grills are different idk where you read that but a sealed beam headlight is like 4/6 and has a seperate directional, both of which have seperate mounts. a composite is all in one taking up much more room, unless you cut the grill of a sealed beam its not doable, and yes you would need a new wireing set up

I know I need the composite grille. I am just looking for photos on how the process of hooking up the wires for the composite headlights is done!
