yes, the procedure is the same. The rectangular bracket has 4 screws and
you will find two connectors (for outer and inner lights) instead of one
(for the old round headlight).
The light output of the rectangular ones are terrible (David Beierl said
these things should have never been in existence). Some people will say put
relays in. Some other ones will tell you to put some higher wattage bulbs
(with relays) in. But with higher wattage bulbs, you only get a brighter
mass without more vision. The only change which will make a difference is
to replace with ecode headlights (and then higher wattage bulbs and
relies). Ron at Busdepot offers them  https://www.busdepot.com/255941105kit
(Ken at Vanagain also offers them (with LEDs? no ecodes?

).

Good luck, Karl.
