yes. if you don't mind using a sawzall and some sanding tools and are good at paint and body work.

they sell "kits" on ebay but its really just a plan on how to cut the damn pieces out so you can fit the headlight.

my guess is you have better things to blow money on. have you rebuolt your front driveshaft?

Here is an old thread about headlight conversion. Its not that hard of a job. You need to plan ahead and get all the parts and tools you need. When the old metal is cut out there is no going back.

If I recall, someone on here has the plans for free.
Dont buy the "kit" on ebay because, like Ed said, its just directions and not worth what they are asking.
If you can find the lights for cheap, go for it. Looks good if you do it right.

got my facelift from a member/rover reaper on here. I got stumped for a couple of hours, on the wiring, but the conversion was simple.....tin snips and a grinder.....
found a write up on the wiring that smoothed that bs out

They do sale conversion kits in the UK but the price is not worth it. I like the look of the 04 lights but I hate that they are plastic like all modern day vehicles. They get hazzy after time and you have to spend money to have them cleaned. The old glass ones never get hazzy and are cheaper to replace in the long run. But hey, I'm old school.
