Crowne Vic headlights on a SC?

In the junkyard today I noticed that Crowne Vic lights are almost the same as ours and most were in a lot better shape. I checked one against a bird and the bulb cups are a little wider on the Vic and so won't fit directly but the lens looked almost identical except for a slight pattern difference on the lens face and the little nipples were shorter. But it looked like the lens could be removed and glued to our type of housing. Has anyone tried this?

The Vic lenses were crystal clear and all the bird ones were yellow.
Everyone grabs the bird ones in the junkyard but leave the Vic ones behind so there are plenty.

I may try this unless someone has already.
 
I know for a fact that they don't bolt up directly beause ive tried. The Vic mounting points are on more of an angle than a bird. I really didnt think about just taking the lens off though... hummm...
