Default Replacing lights in a bay with double glazing

Anyone have any views on this?
I have 3 large bays with 5 or 6 facets with a light in each. Some windows
are georgian barred, all are original 1930's windows in pine, treated with
Sadolin Superdec. They are in good condition with only very superficial rot
if any. I want to know how feasible it is to simply knock out the lights
and replace with a DG unit. By taking out the whole light as opposed to
leaving the light frame insitu there should be more than sufficient depth
for the new glass. What trim etc would I need to make it look okay, be
secure and ensure the units are compromised for lomgevity concerns? I'll
post a photo if that helps.
TIA
