89-94 H5s in an SC
Will 89-94 H5 headlights fit into my SC buckets? If there are plug adaptations, will they fit cosmetically until that can be done?

I think the real question is why would you want to put on a replacement with a substandard beam pattern and less light output?
Put the Euro H4s on it. That is by far the best lighting upgrade you can do on the car.

From what I can tell on mine, they are a direct bolt in/plug in. I'm getting used to the H5's and starting to like them.
Whoops, I just read that the plug is different. The buckets should be the same. I have not seen any significant differences, but I have seen everything, yet.

h5 headlights in an SC
Well, at this point it would be just as an aesthetic fix...get rid of the sugar scoops...I have been told that the 89-94 wont fit as the fender is diff....I do not buy this...can anyone tell me if they will or won't? I only drive the girl during the daytime and on weekends, so quality at this point is less imp as looks (soun ds like my first marriage)

I don't think they'll be a straight bolt in since the H5 aiming bucket/cage uses four threaded tabs that are inside the fender bucket to mount the H5 assembly? I don't have a picture handy to show this and a search in the archives didn't result in anything for me.

H-5's are a huge improvement over sealed beams, but the H-4's are better.

H4s are easy to install - don't do what I did in 1999 and go for the sexy smooth US federalized H5s - they sucked big time compared to the H4s I installed later when I was........smarter.
No wonder the guy was so happy I bought them........

H5s are US only junk. Buy H4s with and a set of paintable rings. You'll get the look you are after, and really good head lights. They plug right in, and are held on by one screw.
