I found a '79 240 sedan that has the quad round headlights. Is it possible to swap the rounds for the quad rectangular style? I know the frame on the rectangular version had the reflector under the bulbs, but the overall opening looks to be large enough. Where could I aquire the buckets that house the bulbs?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Greetings:
Why would you want to? Getting European style rounds by Cibie, Bosch, Hella, or Wipro replicas will give you by far the best lighting of any Volvo and look good too, IMHO. The squares are not as good lighting wise, although Cibie, etc. do make them.
