i currently have a 93 yj wrangler with square headlights. i want to go for the older style headlights (the round ones) and i was wondering if it was possible to take a grille (clip) from a cj maybe and fit it on mine, would it work? if not, is there some kind of a conversion kit available anywhere to do it? im not into welding so thats out of hte question.

I think I remember that being a fairly common thing back before my time

You can buy a one peice fiberglass front end, (hood, grille, and fenders) and I believe that would be a bolt-on kit. Quadratec or your local 4X4 shop should be able to help you find one.


Good Luck

i gave my opion  now if you gotta have round headlights on your yj all you need is a hood a grill and the front fenders off of a cj    it will bolt on with little effort it is an easy conversion...........

square, round ... who cares?  there's a whole new generation of jeeps to hate.  they make the YJ look like a dinosaur ... that would chew them up and spit out the leftover bits.

i think the YJ is one of the most cost effective way's to get into jeeping.  that keeps the fun factor high.

my 2 cents.

Pete
