Well I just got my commander lights in the mail. $29 for one and $39 for the other. With shipping it was $80. Now I feel kinda lost cuz, from here I don't know what to do.
I know wanna cut my only header panel and I'd like to have it giberglassed. I guess the light r gonna sit here. Any suggestions?

You just said what you have to do in your post...cut your header panel and glass around the openings...If you aren't willing/wanting to do it on your only header panel then obviously you are going to have to get a second one.

I agree. This may be the best way to go. eBay here I come.

I think he said in one of his posts that he didn't have to drill any new holes into the header, so it must bolt to the core support somehow.

That paint is awesome! great job with the headlights. Not really sure on the hatch tho.

kosmik, to answer your question the 97+ bumper should bolt to the older brackets. The main difference between the 2 bumpers is that the later are not as wide as the pre-96 ones.

rattle canned and airbrushed today
Will the 84-96 front bumper brackets work or will i have to use the 97-01 brackets to install the newer bumper?
the hatch looks like it belongs on an s10 blazer but other than that your jeep looks sick

I don't like flames, but that looks really good. I don't like the rear hatch either, not the rear lights. But it looks like you did a great job on getting the commander head lights to fit.

Not what I would have done, but it's different, and I think that was your point. I like the lights though.
WRT to the bumper brackets- it's been covered in another thread recently, but I believe all you need to do is either drill a couple of holes in the new bumper, or buy the newer brackets.

No it's not big enough or close enough to the ground. It also has to point up at the right angle where it looks like a boner.

What do the lights actually mount too? Did you have to fabricate brackets?
Thanks,
