... how many lights they have, much less the shape. When I worked at a Pep Boys years ago, people would say "I've got an XYZ and my low beam is out." When I'd say from memory, "Your car has four 4x6 rectangular lights, so you need this one," they'd say "NO! My car has two ROUND lights! Can't I get some decent help here?" Whereupon I'd say "Let's have a look at your car" and they'd proceed to try to show me what an idiot they thought I was until they actually looked at their car and said "Oh, I never noticed the lights were like that."
between square and rectangular any more??? Some Fiat 125 models of the early '70s had square headlights, but not many other cars.
