On...but you CAN have on that takes round lights. I got rid of my
square *fugly* lights on my 85 505 for the pre-84 (I think that is
when the switched) round lights and I must say, I much prefer that
look. In fact, I have been meaning to post pics, side by side of both
my peugeots. Maybe even three different looks:
with stock square DOT lights (old pic)
with euro valeos
and pre 84 rounds
maybe I will throw them up on my site and attach a poll to them.
