Default Bronco headlights on xj

I'm kinda new here and have wanting to convert my headlights to round ones. I've seen cj grills made to fit but how about early ford bronco clip made to fit. Seeing if anybody has seen or made one.

You can't help the guy out?




OP, there are a few guys out there that have done mods like this, if you use the search button you'll find plenty of info to get you into trouble with this.

However, if you want a start, here is a decent one...

https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/ro...y-story-71774/

Probably a great idea to read the entire thing.

I did. I told him he was not correct in posting. I didn't want to give him bad info. So I told him everything I know.

Anything is possible, your wallet is the only limiting factor.

Like jeep bandit said could go to jy and find either a wrecked one or find a light size I like and go from there. But it is hard in my area to find even a wrecked one people here love theirs.

my thought is get some 1/16" or 1/8" aluminum and get cj front light and take the stock lights out of your xj and make a new mount to put the cj front lights but still using the stock front clip. If u know what im saying
