headlight / grille swap?

I'm sure someone's done this, so here's my desire.
My 94 has headlights that go far beyond sucking...they are just sh*t. Over the last few months, I have been looking for replacements, conversions, something to get rid of the refracted trapezoid headlight bucket. NOTHING exsists...so...to get a normal, rectangle shaped bucket (from an older T4R) means I have to completely remove the buckets, grill, and assumably the turn signals (although they do meet the headlight at 90 degrees)...but...given that the 94's are adjusted by some kind of right angle/screw.abortion of an adjuster screw, mounted directly to the core support, what year of runner do I start looking for to get parts from, and make this "upgrade" possible? Plenty of HID or similar "conversions" are available, but not with non-refracted lenses, only in the rectangle style...I can switch only the bulb with the current configuration.

Well I myself have been contemplating turning my 95 front to the 90 style 7x6 headlight and doing a retrofit....but I haven't gotten to it yet, but I'm sure it can be done with just the lights and grill...but getting the radiator support from a pickup or older runner would work better

Oh and I was trying to see if I could do an fj cruiser front with the round headlights but idk of that'll work
