Thanks for responding.

I seem to recall that the lights went from round to square in the '79 model year, then either square or rectangular (depending on DL/GL/GLE spec etc) in '80, then a facelifted rectangular shape in '81.

The grills with the built in spot lamps are also rare and expensive.

Thanks

I would like the square ones as opposed to your rectangular ones.

I have found some and going to look at them in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for your offer again...

your car looks beautiful by the way.

The headlamps on the MY 1980 motor cars (only) are a bit unusual - a different rectangular to the 1981 and later models. They may be a little harder to track down (if you don't have them already) than the later ones. Here they are on the RB:
