Default Was going to try a dome light conversion...

Was going to try a dome light conversion on the XR and found one from a Territory on ebay cheap. Got it for $7.50 including postage :sm_headba .
Got it today but its huge! Didnt look that big in the pic:
Its about 4x bigger than an E-Series one. :

Very interesting indeed, that's a big bastard for sure. But I'm just not completely sure why you are doing a dome light conversion on your dome light?

After seeing how big it is im unlikely to be going to do this to the XR. At minimum I will have to cut the headlining and I dont want to do that.

But I will atleast try it on the Fairmont and then post up some pics of this monster.

We'll it was made for a bigger car, so you should have expected it to be bigger than a falcon... maybe not that big though. LOL
