I've looked in a few places but cant find an answer for this. What is involved if even possible to convert my 95 sqyare HL's over to the round style. I have an idea how, I just need to know if there is a kit out there or just bolting in front grill off another year will work. Wiring is not a problem either. Any advice would help...

Customization takes all forms my friend. Sometimes a modification on looks can be just as pleasing as a performance upgrade. It's all in the eye of the beholder. Plus, a lot of times the style upgrades can be done while saving towards things like lifts and tires, yet still satisfying that itch to change things.

However dodgeman, love the name, but it isn't as easy as just changing the grill. If you change the grill, you'll probably have a gap between your fenders and the grill, since they have different shapes. You may also have to modify your hood. I've never measured it out or anything but if your square headlights are smaller in diameter than the round ones, you could possibly cut round holes in your existing grill and add the lights and bezels. Either way, it's gonna be a good bit of work. So make sure it's really worth it before you start.

I'm a male and i like rounds better than squares.. That is not needed here killerisdead..

As much as buying a tj or cj.. TJs are more expensive than yjs while cjs lights are huge in my opinion..

I gues what you can do is try to round hole off the light holes in your front end and then insert ligths in there

Come on guys. We all do cosmetic stuff to our jeeps whether it's stickers (my personal favorite) or trail rash ;). If he wants to change them out, I say try it. But it won't be easy. The YJs don't have the sloped hood like the TJs so the grill might be taller and the like Binary said, the fenders are a different shape. The grill on the YJ is straight on the sides were the TJ's is curved. It'll be more fab work than it's worth I'm afraid.

(and I love the square headlights even though mine are round :D a jeep is a jeep is a jeep)
