Square head light kit
I installed these in 1976. Now looking for another set but haven't seen any in the vet mags or catalogs
that carry them. The kit contained everything that was needed, shroud included
Any body seen these around?

I wouldn't think it would to difficult to fab something up like that for some around here (not me...).
What I'd like to see?
Instead of the front of the headlight cover rising, have the rear lower, exposing a set of small round, or rectangular lights.

Yep...Ecklers sold those in the 70's into the 80's when they could find someone to get off the high price, 
I am guessing the price killed them, because they get rid of that gross bug eyed look when the lights are on and look all factory...
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the last new set was sold 20 years ago...time flies.
Just so happens that my 69 has those in basic perfect condition and they are for sale, see my post in the for sale section under "front clip"

Problem is I can't get off them until I sell the clip and install myMako clip,
I also want to point out that anytime quad rectrangle lamps are added to a c3 like with these pop up or the popular custom recessed headlights you must rewire to be right for quad rectrangles ( example 1968 Trans am ) the wiring is NOT the same as the quad round lamps if you do not rewire the lights do not shine correctly,
That is why many novices say that the recessed lights do not light the road as well as stock....
