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...
