New bulbs for all four squares (highs and lows) are $55.80 Canadian from Frank:

It works out cheaper as there is no need to buy $50 rounds, a new
grille for the rounds, and buckets to hold the rounds. After all you
still need to upgrade bulbs and do the relay setup if you are
upgrading the rounds.
Unless you think the round look better, I would stay with your later
squarews and grille. I had the above setup for a LONG time and it was
great and very very bright. I eventually replaced it with a South
African grille, based solely on looks. I sold the squares, bulbs, and
grille for a great price too, and teh relay was still in place to do
teh SA install.
Eventually I'll install the Projektzwo fog lamps that are still
sitting in a box in my closet.
