jimoshel Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Are the 1986-1992 headlight bezels the same as, or directly interchangeable ? Or are the '91-'92 different? I don't have a '91-'92 in the yard or I'd just go look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 91-96 are different Jim - will not work on the 90 and below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 That's what I figured. There' a set of chromed ones on ebay, metal, not plastic reason I asked. Maybe I could just swap the whole header? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the metal headlamp bezels you saw are for an FSJ Cherokee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickinmule Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Just stuck the chrome grill and bezels off my 92 XJ onto the 88 MJ. There are 2 tabs on the back of the bezels that have to be cut off/ground down in order for the fitment to be right. Then drill 2 new mounting holes in the body to accept the new location for screws to secure the bezel. No sweat. Soon as you hold the 92 chrome in place you'll see what needs to happen.

Eagle Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The whole panel is plug n pray. Sorry, no it isn't. The headlight bezels and the grille are all separate parts on the Cherokee and Comanche. 1984 through 1996 all look the same from a distance, but the later ones were changed so that the horizontal trim strip across the top of the headlights and grill was incorporated into the headlight bezels and grille rather than being a separate part. I thought Chrysler made that change beginning in 1990, but it might not have happened until 1991. {Edit to add} Quadratec shows the years as 84-90 and 91-96.

Strokermjcomanche Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I believe crash meant changing the whole header panel . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I believe crash meant changing the whole header panel . Possibly he was, but this thread is about headlight bezels, not header panels. And the header panel changed in 91 along with the grille and bezels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Gregory Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The seven piece was used until 92, then the three piece was used then on. It takes a little grinding and modifications, but i made it work on my MJ, I like the look of the chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 ^This. I tried to put some 7-piece chrome from an '86 onto my '91... it didn't work. The 7-piece will require some surgery to the header panel just to sit properly. More work than it was worth to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what you're talking about because I am looking for those little corner bezels to complete the trim stripping above and below the side market lights but I cannot find them anywhere! Do you happen to know where I could find them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
