backdating '90 740 plastic headlights to '89 spec (4) 4x6 e-codes? 700 1990

Hi all,

I tried searching on fitting four 4x6 e-codes for the '90 740, but no luck--everything seemed to address updating the 90 car to the Volvo Euro-style e-code . . . so I guess I have to ask the question out-right: Is it possible to go from the 2 plastic USA-spec lights on the 1990 car back to the 4-lamp set-up on the 1989 and older 740s?

My goal would be to run a set of four e-code 4x6 lights (I have a set of NOS marchals under the work-bench), instead of the current yellowed plastic units.

I checked out an 89 740 at the pick 'n pull today--looks like I would need at least the headlight mounting hardware and wiring, the turn signals, the plastic frames, and the clear plastic trim that goes under the units. What about the grill? Anything else? (please don't say fenders and hood--not going there)

Thanks in advance--especially for any BTDTs!

Steve A-
