Default Monza light conversion in progress

Found a used set of monza style light kits w/o hardware from a good guy in Dallas. Anyone with a Ecklers install sheet, specs for what lights will fit would be greatly appreciated. If I can figure out how to post pics, I will

My Eckler's lights cost me over $3,000 - the cost to take them out and repaint over a decent paint job so everything would match up. A new set of vacuum hoses and the lights work great. To each his own.... That said, the Eckler's lights bolted in with three bolts in the back and you can use some sealer in the front if you need it. That's what the PO had done with mine.

Beautiful car!, If mine were a bumper car, I would be more concerned with accurate restoration. My 78 will never be worth as much as yours. I hope to make mine into a daily driver, with a minimum of cash.

I found a set of lights from a mid 80's Cadillac that fit. Now I need a paint job!
