Default Installing headlight conversion kit?

I have the WI-HL8A from YearOne Headlight conversion kit. Has anyone installed these? The sealed beam is deeper and wider than stock; do I need to enlarge the hole in the housing to make them fit or do I have the wrong kit it said it fits an 82?

Not sure on the stock dimensions but Year One's website says the lens's that you purchased are 5-3/4" round. See below description.
Hope you got an upgraded harness or added relays to prevent any burning.

"This headlight conversion kit is designed for you to be able to upgrade your vehicle's headlights from a sealed bulb unit to a replaceable H4 bulb unit. It features a clear "free form" reflector lens. Sold as a pair. SAE approved. Dimensions: 5-3/4" round. Bulbs not included."

This is a cheaper upgraded wire harness then .... but its not plug n play.

The way more expensive route but it is plug n play.
