Yes, they'll fit okay, but you may not have the control knob by the light switch that adjusts the beam. The facelift & some late prefacelifts have motorised beam reflectors :)

Yes and there is a write up on the procedure HERE (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/headglass.htm).

Take care getting the 'old' glass out. Can be tricky. Slow and patient is best. And beware when replacing the mastic/sealant I had bad condensation after I did mine.

John, a few people have removed the chrome surround inside the headlight and either left it with the black plastic or painted the part thats left, i believe its very hard to tell the difference between those and facelift lights.

Hi :)
I rubbed my chrome surrounds down with some T-cut
and cloth this removed all the chrome finish and they did'nt need painting (or you could try colour coding them :o).
the biggest problem i had was getting the glass out without breaking it :o
you could buy an old pair off *bay and do abit of experimentation ;D.......
