Question 1993 Volvo 850 GLT headlights

I have cracked headlight lenses on my 1993 850 GLT. They are the single bulb headlights. I'm looking for replacement lenses, but am thinking about just replacing them all together with aftermarket headlights.

The problem I am having is that it looks to be from pictures that I'm not sure if any aftermarket headlights really do fit the 1993 GLT models. They look shorter in the pictures than what might fit on my car. Does anyone know of any angel eye or any aftermarket headlights that will fit my 1993 850 GLT Sedan?

I'd prefer under $200. Found some on ebay, but not sure if they are good or not.

Thanks!

I would make 100% sure they are going to fit. according to what I have read, the 1993 and early 93 models have different headlights than the later models do. At least thats what IPD says:

Have you priced them at FCP Groton? when it comes to OEM replacement parts, FCP seems to run a bit cheaper than anyone I've found. I use IPD for performance parts which FCP doesn't really carry.

And if all you are looking for is replacement glass, hit the salvage yards. you can probably get them there for 5 bucks each.
