I agree. I've seen the projectors and they look horrible.

I considered getting the round Delta lights in place of the headlamps. This way the lighting is already upgraded as well at the same time. And it would match my bumper lights.

I've been considering borrowing the lights off one of the parts Scouts in my backyard to do mine...

You can go to the junkyard and find an old ford. Get the housings and clips to hold it all then fab up the rest.

I love the way that looks. I would like to do this to mine. How complicated was this. Did you have to do alot of fabbing? Can you give me an overview of what all the conversion entailed. Thanks

yes please, i would really like to know how you did it, i like that it keeps the xj look with an aggressive off road look. personally i think the projector lights look to tuner, Honda civic kinda thing to do.
