Headlight conversion 7” round

[jcardona1]

Looking really good! How about the option/ability to add some marker lights? I've always loved front end of the Defenders

I can see putting some DRL LED's on this. Something like this mounted vertical and recessed into the face to be flush.

If this is the correct size, it would be sweet to use for the main bulb

Yesss! I'm getting these when they're available. Looks like an FJ60

That looks awesome! I wasn't commenting on the strength...just the aesthetics...I have zero design experience and was curious if a smaller headlight would line up better with the top line, or look too open / plain around the edges...also might open up more options for additional features around the edges?

Did all of your Jeep friends (like mine) tell you that all wheelers have “round headlight”?

Lol. Grow some. Jk.

Looks like a great retro though.

7" is a standard size used on all sorts of older vehicles, motorcycles, and yes, jeeps. You can get a wide range HID, LED, HIR, projectors, or an old-school $8 sealed halogen to fit in the hole.

That rover has some "cruiser lean".

I agree, marker lights would be a cool addition.

Can't wait for this project to be ready! Definitely interested in it!

Interested in how you wired it, I have the new parts standing by, just have not figured out the wiring?

Again, only commenting on the aesthetics - copy your info on 7” availability, thanks for that..not commenting availability of lenses at what size..simply wondering if someone with design experience knew if smaller lenses would look better, or offer a better look for some of the peripheral accessories..as seen above with the defender, there is a lot of surround real estate on the lense vs. the OPs design

I totally get that the design is done, the OP is the one doing the work, and it’s super time consuming, etc. and not attempting to troll or detract from the work- I hope to get my hands on a set when available

 

[Jgunner]

Damn it, not only do i need your grill, now ill need this! Im not made of money!!! Youre killing me!!! Haha

 

[chap79]

@kelly saad my truck is always ready for some mock up, though I might not trust the passenger side for perfect alignment.

 

[YMT]

I want!!! I'm also curious if it's just the surround or the entire bucket too, so all that's needed are bulbs/wiring.
If you happen to need a 91 for beta testing, I will gladly bring mine out!

I would like to see a picture from further back showing your grille and light/s

 

[junior80]

Can we see some pics from further back and in daylight? They look great.

i feel like this is something i need to spend money on. sub'd to stay updated.

I think that a smaller size might be more aesthetically appealing because it would give you more room above and below the light. There is a wide variety of 5.75’’ headlights available as well so it could be an option. But I also agree, either way I want one!

Add another vote to the "I like/want" column! Nice work!!
