Can pre '85 quad headlights and matching grill be fitted to a 1992 240GL? 200

To answer the OP's question. It can be done but would require mounting the entire radiator support (or just the welded vertical panel) because the panel holding the headlights is not to the same depth between the 4 headlight system (both round and rectangle) and the later system. As noted by Dan the fender at the parking light will not match up properly. Additionally the the rear edge of the respective hoods will not match the cowl - one high, one low.
I would take issue with some of Bradley's statements. Yes the round 4 light system is superior to the 4 rectangular lamps (I have an '80 245DL and an '84 245TI-so I know) but I haven't yet driven a later car that matched either of the 4 headlights. I've never experienced the e-code type - I'm sure they are better. -- Dave
