It was actually super easy. Went to the junkyard and pulled the headlights and buckets from a chevy c/k which is pretty much a 2nd gen silverado. on the xj, take off the plastic trim and unplug the turn signals, unscrew the bucket and unplug the light. Keep the spring from the xj light then just screw the bucket up with the spring attached. The screws will be a little crooked because it's not an exact fit but they hold. Im probably gonna make some sheet metal rings to hold it better tomorrow but then put back in the turn signals and trim. Tomorrow Im cutting the front though
