Default Rectangular Headlights

I started converting a set of headlight assemblies to pop up rectangular headlights for a RESTOMOD I was building. Got them 95% done then ditched the project. I recently came across the assemblies and decided to finish them and sell them but.... I cannot locate the instructions and what I find on the internet is so small and poor quality, I can't use.

Does anyone out there have clear instructions for the rectangular pop up headlight conversion? Let me know.

Thanks,

John

John, Hot Rod magazine,March,1975. I have a copy of the mag ( found it on ebay when I was doing mine) and will be glad to scan it in and email it to you. That is the least I can do for the guy who let me BORROW his bezels. I got mine all in and working great. Give me a day or so. Thx. Jim

Thanks Jim. That would be fantastic. I have almost completed this update to the assemblies and to the point where you install the headlight cups. Oh Boy!!
