Apart from esthetics (which I can't argue with as it is everyone's personal
choice) I think you're better off with the round headlights. The 7" rounds
are WAY cheaper to replace than squares and with H4 bulbs like the Hella
Vision Plus lights you can have great visibility too. Or do what I did and
upgrade to a South African Grille with quad round lights...
