Hello,
I found this pic posted on NAXJA and I wondered:

Has anyone ever tried to mount Commander lights to their XJ? I've read that they are very similar in size and shape, and could probably be inserted with some minor work. Just wanted to see if anyone has actually done this or is it photoshopped?
Here is my photoshopped rendition of what it could look like. It actually looks great IMO.
Thanks in advance,

Personally I think they are too large for the front end of the Cherokee. I say just try out and then report back to us with what happens.

 

Well I just came back from the mall and I just happen to park close to a Jeep Commander so I quickly measured the width of the Headlight and they're both roughly 9.5 inches. I didn't measure the length because I just felt a little wierd standing in a parking lot measuring someone else's headlights. All I need now is the length, and most importantly the depth.

The reason for this post was just to see if anyone has done this already, and has info to share before I commit to purchasing Commander Headlights...So if you're out there....Let me know!

I don't know a lot about a lot, but isn't that blue XJ missing a rear coil spring?

 

could be running air shocks in the rear...hard to tell

 

thats what i thought. idk though, thats kinda funny lol.

 

definite on the rear air shocks,looks kool but very out of place,and if you wheel that headlight is a definite to get smashed by a branch

 

is it just me or does the tie rod look pretty small on that jeep as well...?

 

Can we stay on Topic guys?!

 

I like the idea of them...much easier option than buying the jeep 2500 front clip...

 

Would that even be legal since you won't have front signal lights?

 

I don't see why not. The top light can still be low/high and the lower light can have an amber bulb for turning????

umm...

put turn signals in it elsewhere and you won't have an issue. I'm sure if someone can make these fit that they can handle mounting a different style turn signal...

 

Elsewhere? Why can't the turn signal go in the bottom light socket? The XJ has a low/high beam in one bulb, that can go on top and the turn signal in the bottom? Is there a legal issue I'm not aware of?

 

no legal issue...just simpler to use your corner markers or install a nice little light in the bottom outer ends of the grille itself, and then you have the benefits of dual bulbs in the commander.
