Default aero to 4eye question

ok so i got my first fox and its a 1990 lx with an awful "custom" paint job. to make a long story short im eventually going to get it painted for a good price but want to get my body work in order first. i have an awful cowl hood (nonfunctional that i want to ditch for a stock one. however i found a full front clip from an 83 for only 50 bucks in excellent condition. i personally like the look of the 4eyes better and always wanted one but wanted fuel injection as well. if im correct the panels and bumper should all bolt up in place in the right fashion. my only obstacle is how to wire the front headlights. ive searched not only on here but on google and yahoo and cant find the answer im looking for. if anyone can tell me the answer or give me alinkt o how it can be done thatd be awesome and id appreciate it. sorry for the long post just thought id tell the full story outright from the beginning lol

i believe that the front bumber supports may be different in length, the only reason i say this is because a racer on NMRA sells tubular bumber supports to save weight and he has to make special ones for the 4 eyes n then the 90-93 are a little bit different from the 87-89

you could grab a older style wiring harness and extract the headlight wires and then splice into your original

Take a look in the 'Chiltons' type repair manual that they sell at Checker/Kragen/Shucks type places, there the whole wiring diagram there.
BTW,

try the town library and the photo-copy machine..........

For your front bumper to look right you have to use the support also. The turn signal in the front is in the support not the cover itself.

Fuel injection is **** anyways I would rather have carb, especially for a older stang. Those old 4 eyes were so light.
