That wouldn't work too well on a Seville. If I recall correctly, the lenses are fluted and the headlights are reflector based. He'd need a projector headlight with a clear lense for it to look right. I clicked on the cardomain link that he posted; it seems that the person used aftermarket E36 BMW headlights on his Eldorado. I'm email that person directly since he's the one who did the swap.

I'd also ask him/her if the headlights are aimed properly. When swapping headlights from another car, one must be careful that the beam pattern isn't crossed or all over the place.

Good luck
Ian
