Exclamation 1991 Volvo 240: Switching Headlights?!?!

Hey guys, just curious if anyone knew if there were conversion kits i could use to switch out my headlight, typical stock square headlights, but id really like to put in the circular headlights what were found in the 80s 240s. I just happen to like the look better. Any knowledge would be heavily appreciated.
Thanks!

It's been done often...both ways. Pre 86 to 86+ and reversed. There's basically 3 versions of round headlights; early and later single 7" rounds as well as the smaller quad rounds. It's possible to merely swap the headlight buckets and trims, perhaps drilling a hole or two...but to do it right, you need to swap the fenders, hood and the vent cowl at the base of the windshield. The fenders are fairly simple but the cowl has to be cut out and welded in! Not the simplest task.
