It shows round and rectangular for 1978 Bronco's, rectangular only for 1979 Bronco's.

It shows round and rectangular for 1978 and 1979 F100/350's.

1978/ means 1978/79.

I love the round headlights in the 76/77 grille, but in the 78/79 grille it's got to have the rectangular headlights. It fills out the bezel so much nicer. The round don't look right at all. That being said, nothing screams 70s more than the round lights in the older grilles.
