Not a performance thing really, I just like the way the round headlamps look. That's the only reason.

My understanding is that the best beam pattern is produced by the old 7 inch round headlamps. The four small rectangular lamp setup was a appearance package, not a performance option.

Sounds funny using performance and headlights in the same statement.


Yeah, man! My van is a rocket ship now cause I swapped out the headlights to round! grin

The ultimate goal is to have Kurk from Custom Van make me a custom billet grille, but you have to retain a portion of the stock grille to do it. I think the billet grille along with the round headlamps would look good. Different.


He already said my van would be the guinea pig.

I used to like the square headlights better when they were the "new thing". But now that they are the "norm" I have started to like the round lights again. I think the same thing has happened to me with big wheels. Now that even new trucks on the showroom floor have them I have seemed to go back to 15's lol. Anyway here is a pic of a Streetvan with round headlights. I think they look nice.

I don't dislike the square lights. but the round ones are pretty nice. I think it just gives an older look.
