my new luv that i got this weekend has a single headlight front.i want to retain the twin headlight front like on my other luv.i think it looks tougher and every luv that ive seen lately has a single headlight front.just thought it would be different.is it as easy as just putting the lights and the grille in or would the radiator support panel have to be changed?

I have the dual lights, but I am going to take out the "high beam" and replace it with a 6" piaa driving light, with a litttle bit of grinding should fit with the light cover that says "piaa" and on the bottom valance I have some small bright as heck lights. I am inspired from front end on the mustang in gone in 60 seconds.

I am trying to simulate the Mustang with those aux lights in the grill. As soon as I repair our riding mower I will get some pics on line where it is at this time.

I like ice cream!!!








Just like the last 3 replies, this has NOTHING to do with the original question! :egeek

and on a side note, I would answer the question but the search button is your friend!

Hate to be a jerk about things but please try to be somewhat on topic and do your research first as a lot of these questions have been asked many times before.

Do you plan to have the additional lights functional? Is so, can the wiring handle the extra load or will a new wiring for the headlights be required? Just a question.
I posted a reply about adding additional lights similar to the mustang as an idea, if obtaining the four headlight/grill setup was difficult.......

Typing in "headlight swap" using the search, found these two topics on and 3 more I am not linking right off the bat

As for the wiring handling the extra load, not sure what you mean by that as both styles have 2 low beams and two high beams. Unless you are wanting all 4 lights on at the same time with the dual setup but that is kind of pointless.
