Default Round Quad-Lights?

Just wondered if anyone's seen the round style of fixed headlights, rather than the rectangular ones found in the Eckler's catalog? I've got a source for a set of the rounds, and was told that they came out of a 1970. I'm thinking of using them in my '78. Anyone???

They do also come with the plexi covers as well.

I'd love to find a picture of one with them installed, but have not found any. Any ideas?

Also, any idea what they're worth?

Default Are these things rare?

Are the round quad-lamps rare? I've not seen any pics of any, and am curious what they look like? Can anyone help?

Have you ever seen ones that sit down inside, and aren't raised above?? The ones I have have the flat plexi that sits on top.

Also, what are these worth?? Are they rare???
