85 cougar front end on an 87?

I'm not diggin' the aero headlight front end on my 87 cougar, is it possible to swap an older 4-eye front end onto my 87?

Assuming that its possible, will it even look alright? Or just look like a cougar grab-bag? I'm prepared to even swap fenders if I have to.

It's been done with Birds for sure.  I thought someone on here had done a Cat?

The two cars have different trim, It wouldnt look right.  Unless you changed out the trim on the whole car.

Ah I see now. To be honest, I'd rather go through all the trouble and change everything just to have the high output and the look of the 4-eyes. My aero housings are so foggy that I'd rather do the switch than search for outrageous new housings.
