Trogdor636 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) None of those will fit unless you do a Hardbody grille swap.You would want the 5x7's then. If you want brighter lights you can wire in relays to help the current, few threads around here showing you how to do it.

What would the 5x7" headlights mount to? and the wiring is plug & play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) you would need to swap your headlights over to the hardbody style, not just the hardbody grille, which you would need also. You would need the headlight buckets to mount the headlights to. Would look like this, My 94 running Hella E-code headlights with H4 bulbs, this grille is my aftermarket grille, no longer available: this is with normal sealed beam headlights, after converting from the OEM pathfinder headlights: like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TYC-22-1010-Headlight-Assembly-/251250318092?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ANissan|Model%3APickup&hash=item3a7faf9b0c&vxp=mtr Edited June 29, 2013 by ahardb0dy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vagabond Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I did the hardbody headlight and grill mod and heavier wire and relays on my 88 and it made a hell of a difference, if you can get it from a jy get the side marker lights also I also did the heavier wire and relays on my 94, and again a hell of a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkrypt3d Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 can you post some pics? and where did u get the grill? Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Good point, the Hardbody and Pathfinder side markers are slightly different. I went to a Pathfinder grille on my Hardbody and I just trimmed them, but going the other way probably leaves a gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 it does leave a gap, I still have the pathfinder marker lights on my truck with the hardbody grille Have you priced those LED headlights? A few months ago when I asked if anyone has seen them on here they were ridiculous price wise. Still are, 4 wheel parts $489 EACH !!!! The headlamp assembly in the E-bay link appears to have everything to bolt it right onto the truck but can not see from the pic if it includes the springs and adjustment screws, best bet is to hit up a junkyard, plenty of hardbody pickup's to get the headlight buckets from. If you go that route you also need the headlight plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 can you post some pics? and where did u get the grill? Thx!

I've got some pics on here somewhere, I'll see if I can find them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) You are correct as to the price coming down, just did a search and found these: $239 each. http://www.amazon.com/Truck-Lite-27450C-Rectangular-Headlamp-Reflector/dp/B007ED7HNY $195 each http://www.ebay.com/itm/TRUCK-LITE-5-X-7-RECT-LED-HEADLAMP-27450C-REPL-FOR-6052-H6054-HP6054-LAMPS-/160981469638?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item257b3e49c6&vxp=mtr They are coming down, when they get to around $50 each maybe would consider them !!
