Default waggy headrer panel conversion

So im very interested in doing the waggoner header panel/grill conversion. what will i need if anything for this conversion? will any modifications be needed? or extra wiring done for 4 headlights compared to 2? anyone whose done the conversion or has knowledge of what itll take please share what you know about it and if its worth it based on work involved. i know there rarely done, but i was under the impression that was based on how rare waggoners in good enough shape to pull parts from are, not based on work involved. thanks

-Ethan

No idea on the conversion process. But make sure you have a complete header panel. Including the chrome Wagoneer headlight bezels. Good luck.

I think the wiring harness is different since there are two lights on each side, but I could be wrong...

If you can grab the waggy harness and such that would help. Otherwise a DIY or aftermarket headlight harness will work for the headlights. I believe the rest of the harness is the same for turns and such.
Was not my intention, as the person on ebay thought they had something they didn't but I am running an LMCtruck "dual headlight" harness, since I only have the 2, and not 4 I just tucked the spare wires away.
