Compatibility for '86+ models? 200

My Brick is an '89, and like everyone else I'm looking for ways to put more light on the road. From what I've heard, these dual 7'' beams do a heck of a job at night.

But, I know that this swap isn't straight in, or even close to simple. If I wanted to put these lights in my Brick, how much trouble would it be? For parameters, I'm looking to spend as little money as possible, avoid cutting or permanently modifying things (like never be able to switch back to old style), and have as little down time as possible. Are my demands too strict?

I mean, looking at the rectangle holder for the lights, it looks to be nearly the same size as the Aero plastic style headlights I've got. As for the turn signals, I seem to recall something about the fenders being different, so I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't go in flush at all. The grille, obviously, is too tall. But, how do just the lights themselves fit? Is there enough room between my current turn signal lights and grille to slip the '78-'79 lights in there?
