FJ62 Square Headlight Mesh Covers - Where?!

[v8tuff]

Well I used to be a ford explorer guy back in the day... I know, I know. Anyway I had mesh rock covers on my truck and I really liked the look of it, and I never cracked a light. I was wondering if anyone has found any for the FJ62. I can't seem to locate any. I'm talking about covers like this:

JC Whitney usually has stuff like that.

Pretty sure I saw some of those in the SOR catalog for 60's and 62's.

SOR has these plastic shields:

Not what I'm looking for; I want the screens.

JC Whitney didn't have anything that I could see.

Any other ideas? Anyone know any Aussie sites that might have something like this? Every time I see something I like or want it seems to be from Venezuela or Australia.

I had the metal screens on my 60 for almost a year -- the damn clips holding screen in front of lites broke. $OR wouldn't warranty the clips, are now discontinued/marked down at $3 ea (x6). Nice concept, bad design.

How big of a hurry are you in? Our local auto parts store might still have some. They were popular about 10 years ago. I know they have a set of round ones hanging on the wall. But I won't have a chance to go there until the weekend. PM me if I forget.

I bought some for my 60 off ebay, every once in a while they'll pop up for sale.

As with everything on this truck, I'm not in a big hurry. But when I get an itch to find something, I usually go after it then. I just can't seem to come up with anything now.

I need the rectangular ones for the 62, not circle. You probably understand that but I thought I would clarify just in case.

Anyway, I was thinking, the jeep wrangler model from the 80's that had square headlights...(not a jeep guy so I don't know the tj yj cj whatever j nomenclature) Maybe they made them for those and they might fit up to the 62?

 

[ginericLC]

The jeeps had the larger rectangular lights 5x7 I think and you have 3x5. I think those are the numbers. Anyway they are smaller.

sigh. Back to square one I guess. I'll just have to watch ebay I guess. On a good note, I did just win an inclinometer on ebay off of a hilux surf that will match my interior perfectly. I've been trying to find the right one of those forever.
