Default V6 Capri Head Light Swap Help Needed

Hi all I just brought a V6 Capri and it has twin round head lights but I want to put in square ones.
Do I need to swap the whole front end and panels or can I just change the lights?

.....Just send the twin headlight set-up to me and I'll send you back the square set-up.
Depending on whats been done, it should be a case of straight swap. The later models Mk 1s had twin headlights and the bonnet was made different to cater for the extra width, know as a facelift bonnet. The slam panel is different also has the grille was attached differently. Because there are so many "bodged" attempts at replicating the factory twin headlight out there you may have to change your bonnet and grille but without seeing what has been done I can't fully answer your question. Generally most people prefer the twin headlight look (mainly because of the RS models) but if its done wrong it just looks like something that should be on a 70's panel van. :

It is a full fiberglass front end so I guess if i NEEDED i can do a little bit of cutting and pasting.
I do want to fit the square headlights as it is a GT and want to keep the original look.
Does anyone have a complete V6 front end for sale?
