wrangler grill conversion; YJ's square lights to round lights - Jeep Wrangler Forum


thats one of the links to one guy who mixed the two, not a ton of info but when you see how it turned out its kinda a good bit of inspiration to try it.
yeah i actually sold it last week, it was hard to sell. she was in pretty rough shape but it was my first jeep and the one that started everything wrangler related in my life, it was hard to let go but we needed the money
