    Great mod. I don’t think I could get away with that deep of a headlight because of snow and ice, but I would try this with the lens on and perhaps vent them. Dunno. Definitely use the bracket in this case, unless I find complete replacement assemblies with a similar look for a decent price.

      screwed in and used some metal wire as well. Kind of janky but been a year and still is solid. In retrospect doing some epoxy mounts would've been a good idea.

    Can you leave the lense on or does it get too hot in the housing? Is that the reason why you cut it off?

    • @LeoTheRussian
      @LeoTheRussian  Год назад

      Yeah you don't have to cut the lens at all. Just open it up, install the light and close back up. I've seen a couple done like that. In that case though I'd go with a different style retrofit that's specific to the Monty. Mine were cracked pretty badly so I just cut them off.

    I wonder how it would look with the cover back on uncut ? I know yours was cracked but I would rather see it fully covered
    Also another thought I bet these would be cool as rally lights on a bull bar in the center ! Might check that out for my 2001 montero

    • @LeoTheRussian
      @LeoTheRussian  2 года назад +2

      There is at least one example of that in the Montero 3rd gen FB group where a guy reused the lenses and epoxied the jeep lights to the housing. It looked pretty good. Another option I was considering was to get a piece of lexan or plexiglass (whatever is durable), and cut out a piece to cover up the center but havent had a need yet.

      If I remember correctly you have to take the grill out, but not the bumper. Headlights are held by 3 bolts total only. It's real easy. Hardest part is the grille with the flimsy clips on it.

      Figure it should be ok considering you have spots in the lower and upper grille that are open year round. You could also get a small sheet of clear plexy or lexan type material and cut out covers that can be just easily screwed in the depression left in the stock black plastic housing.
