I just got my hands on a 85GT nose and have some questions. How difficult is it to swap the LX nose for the GT nose? I notice that the bottom of my LX has some plastic pins holding it in. What type of pins are these and where can they be purchased? Next where do I get the wiring for the foglights? The nose came with the metal bracket for the foglights but I will need to get the wiring and the switch. Thanks.

Well, it will be almost a straight swap. The pins should have removeable centers that pull out and allow the rest of the pin to pull out (but I am used to 84's which used bolts) To replace the pins look in the "help" brand section of most auto parts stores.
As far as the foglights and harness go, your car is not original so dont bother going with the crappy fail prone wiring and switch. Most after market lights come with a relay and harness pretty cheap. Or you can buy a relay socket and some wire and wire up your own curcuit.
Good thing you got the foglight bar since those seem to be hard to find straight.
