yes you can

the light 'buckets' are interchangable, the easiest way is to just replace the whole setup and grille, all the wiring looms I have seen all have the same connections

Are you removing square ones to put in round or the other way around?

Dammit, I want to do the same. If it were the other way around I would have swapped you!

Hi guys, my 11yr old lad races a Mk2 2litre and we don't run headlights, if you get stuck I have a couple of sets of rounds, buckets can be included. I've been collecting Mk2's for parts as he got his written off first wek of racing.5 week rebuild.
Postage wouldn't be that expensive.
Cheers,
Les
