Default Changing out headlights

Hey all,

I just recently purchased a 1971 with the Eckler's Monza front end, although I prefer the Mako front end, I do like the flush look of the Monza headlights.

However, I'm not too big of a fan of the rectangular headlights and I want to change them to circle LED headlights but still keep the flush look.
- I am aware that there are the fixed circular L88 headlights for the C3s but I don't like the bubbled lenses.

Here are a few pictures of what I'm looking for attached:







And here is what my headlight assembly looks like right now:

I wanted to see how I could go about the conversion without spending too much money on it. Would I be able to use the same bracket and install circular headlamps?

Thanks in advance!

I have installed LED headlights on my '69. Stock style, no bubble lenses. You will nee 5 3/4" diameter circle spaces.....if not enough room, you'll need to fab a bracket. My LED install thread (may help).....https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...installed.html
