If I remember correctly just get a wiring diagram from 83 and 87 and just match up the wires together with the new plugs(high beam to high beam, turn to turn ect...) it is not too complicated... Everything should just bolt in with very little mod.

good luck

If you are using the entire nose clip from the '87 then you are going to need the '87 hood. The '83 hood won't work.
