square to round headlight conversion

If you mean the "round European GOLF headlights", yes, but you will need a new rad-support and a new grille of course. A2 Jettas in europe had always rectangular headlights - European headlights of course - that did fit the same rad support and grille as the "aero" lights.

I think you will need a new radiator support (suitable for the round headlights) and a grille. Of course you will need the headlights, and fog lights if you are going that route also. ;-)

Some 92 GTs or GTis had round headlights.

There are complete kits to do the conversion, one place that has them is The Parts PLace in Auburn Hills, MI

To elaborate just a bit, all A2s (85-92 Golfs and Jettas) have interchangable grille/headlight setups. To switch between the three OEM setups in the US (small squares on the 85 Golfs; aero headlights on 85-92 Jettas, 86-92 Golfs, and 86-90 GTIs; and 16v-style rounds on the 90-92 GTIs), one needs the appropriate radiator support, headlights, and grille. You can get a dual-round (Euro-spec 8v Golf style) setup for around $200, probably; you should be able to find a quad-round (Euro-spec 16v GTI style, similar to US-spec

90-92 GTIs) for around $300. If you do go to aftermarket lights, you may also need to do some minor wiring work and install relays; most of the aftermarket suppliers sell European-spec lamps, not the US-spec crap that we got OEM. For more info on US versus European-spec headlights, check out Daniel Stern Lighting at Examples of aftermarket suppliers who can sell you headlight/grille kits: (I don't see kits, but they do havegrilles and headlights...they may or may not have radiator supports) (again, I don't see kits, but they do haveheadlights and grilles...I suspect they can get radiator supports as well)

I found the best price for me locally was $350. CDN tax inc. for the rad support, grill(no emblem), 2 headlights, two foglights and some wiring and bulbs. Should be cheaper without the fog's. I got it from Autobahn Dismantlers out of Langley, BC Canada.

The Sob story of it. I did the switch cause I busted up the front end and had to replace it all anyways. Then 6 months later I smashed all my new stuff in a freak low speed spin. ( The only two accidents of my 8 year driving career) Don't even have any pics to remember how cool it looked.
