Default Tj headlights on an xj

I was just wondering if anyone has put Tj headlights on their xj. The idea went through my mind and I would like to see pic of one if anyone has done it. Thanx

Oh it does look very cool if done correctly. Like This: http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...y/100_3121.jpg
One of my favorite Jeeps. Those headlights and grill are from a CJ, not a TJ. I think the CJ headlights/Grill looks better than from a TJ.

I was kinda thinking of putting the Tj head lights with the signal lights incorporated in the headlight and designing it kinda like the libertys with round headlights and fog lights that are offset from the headlights.

There is someone who posts regularly here who has a pic of one in his avitar, and a link to a custom fabbing site, with more pics there. the cherokee looks really cool.

I looked for a link, but I didn't save it.

Well I have access to a laser and auto cad and would be drawing and cutting a new grill out so maybe I could make it look good?

I think it would be cool to see a XJ grill that was designed with round lights. Some of the coolest mods I've ever seen on vehicles, are the ones that are subtle
