- Due to youknowwhat there was shortage of headlights and mine were all cracked. So decided to try installing the 7 inch round jeep headlights. There were only a couple of pics online of someone doing it, so a lot of it ended up being a bit of a puzzle to figure out.

Really the best design on UA-cam for Pajero lighting. Thank you so much for sharing this diy with us. 🙏👍
Appreciate it. I saw 2 pics but no videos so figured I'd make one
@@LeoTheRussian your video was saved immediately in my phone. Because it s the only one. 😄😄😄🙏.
I did it on my 2003 Montero and it looks great! Thanks a lot for the video! Best wishes from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Nice! Awesome work!
Amigo que medida de foco usaste de 7 o 9 pulgadas?
Looks great, thanks for the video!
I love the headlights and the car overall :D I will watch more videos to see its story
New viewer from the UK. Looks sick. Completely changes the age perspective, looks a decade newer
I really need to do a before & after transformation video. Big difference from when I first got it for sure!
Great job mate, looking good. Merry Christmas!😀
thanks bud! Happy Holidays!
Looks awesome bro.. great upgrade
Appreciate it! Now just need the exhaust buttoned up and I think I'm pretty set.
I like the lights with that particular number.
Looks good ! Great work !
thank you
Looks awesome! Never even thought of this, might have to look into doing this myself
A bit pain in the ass and wouldn't pass any inspections but for me in florida and with covid shortage of everything - pretty happy with the result!
@@LeoTheRussian The Mk1 and mk2 also can use these lights because I have seen a lot using them now because of the clarity and brightness. the eBay or jeep ones. I see you are running a mk3 model. Are there a lot mk2 for sale in your area?
Monteros overall are really rare. Gen 1 and 3 are the most common. 2.5 is the rarest.
Wow what a good job. I really love it
Appreciate it! I was surprised with how good it came out despite some questionable engineering
Looks great! I didn’t think to use Jeep headlamps. It’ll be my next weekend project.
Lmk how it goes!
That looks sick
good job. just bought a 2004 luvv it
nice. I do like the 03-06 ones a bit more for sure!
Dam looks pretty good man. I love my Montero
Appreciate it
Hey bro your ride is pretty badasss!!! I have a stock 2001 Mitsubishi sport. 73k OG miles I love it
Appreciate it!
Amazing. Stuff my man! Motivating me to work on my monti
Appreciate it bud!
I wonder how it would look with the cover back on uncut ? I know yours was cracked but I would rather see it fully covered
Also another thought I bet these would be cool as rally lights on a bull bar in the center ! Might check that out for my 2001 montero
There is at least one example of that in the Montero 3rd gen FB group where a guy reused the lenses and epoxied the jeep lights to the housing. It looked pretty good. Another option I was considering was to get a piece of lexan or plexiglass (whatever is durable), and cut out a piece to cover up the center but havent had a need yet.
Good job
love it
Interesting operations¡
Those extra wires are for park lights, those Halo, it has lights in it...
Yeah got it all sorted and now have both halos and turn indicators.
Nice
Dude those headlights are sick. I wonder if you could 3d print in carbon fiber to make housings.
I'd definitely love to figure out a way to make some kind of techno style rig/setup to be able to make custom headlights. A friend of mine almost had me hack up his tacoma headlights to do a similar conversion
Looks awesome! Do you have a link where you bought those headlights?
Just look up 7 inch Jeep LED headlights on eBay.
Hey mate, your video is awesome, and just wonder how you secured the light into the shell, any photo or video can advise??
screwed in and used some metal wire as well. Kind of janky but been a year and still is solid. In retrospect doing some epoxy mounts would've been a good idea.
Hi! Good looking headlights! Can you provide the link where you have purchased your head lights?
Ebay
How’d you get the headlight assemblies out? Did you have to remove the bumper and/or grill?
If I remember correctly you have to take the grill out, but not the bumper. Headlights are held by 3 bolts total only. It's real easy. Hardest part is the grille with the flimsy clips on it.

Can you leave the lense on or does it get too hot in the housing? Is that the reason why you cut it off?
Yeah you don't have to cut the lens at all. Just open it up, install the light and close back up. I've seen a couple done like that. In that case though I'd go with a different style retrofit that's specific to the Monty. Mine were cracked pretty badly so I just cut them off.
Nice, Whats the paint you use on the bumper ?

Can u please tell me if this gen has both center diff lock as well as rear diff lock..
Thanks in advance..
Just the center. Rear can have an LSD as well however. 2003-2006 has amazing traction control that works extremely well and mimics front and rear lockers. Watch the video of Land Cruiser Vs Patrol Vs Montero - really shows how well the traction control works.
2001-2002 did not have that system however
How do you change the stock fog bulbs?
They just twist out I think.
The two wires you wondering about are for a ring shape bulbs , you have to connect them with a separate switch so you can open them at day time.
yeah I looked into it and already got the DRL harrness as well, just forgot to put that in the video. Figure once they're all connected and headlights been tested a bit more without falling out - I'll make an update video
maybe a turn signal light connector
I have the same lights on my gen2 Pajero. The additional leads are for running lights and the turn indicator
Question for any one with 03 montero ...i replaced my condenser fan but seens that fan is pulling air instead pushin can anyone help with that...TIA
idk, my buddy fixed all the issues. I just do the visual stuff :)
Hi do you need to remove the bumper to get the headlight out?
Been awhile, but I'm 99% sure you don't. Just the grill and lift the hood. It's 3 bolts. Two from the top and one covered by the grill I believe
Awesome vid dude. Thanks so much. 👌 Do you think this might have trouble when snowing? Being in Florida in sure you're not worried. But I run into snow about twice a year. Do you think snow would collect in light without lens? Either way super cool mod and video. Thanks again. 👍
Figure it should be ok considering you have spots in the lower and upper grille that are open year round. You could also get a small sheet of clear plexy or lexan type material and cut out covers that can be just easily screwed in the depression left in the stock black plastic housing.
Your montero is beautiful, where do you buy all your accessories, I want some wheels and suspension like that
@@user-ue7bd5cm9c got the wheels and tires through a local friend in Florida. The rest here and there. LusoOverland has a lot of the stuff you want. I'd start seeing what you want and then time the market by getting it on Labor Day or especially Black Friday. I did that for my GX470 wheels last year and some other bits
Hy
Where did you buy the lights?
I really like the idea too.
Ebay or Amazon. Pretty sure was ebay. 7 inch round jeep lights. Just pick the ones you like the look of
Hiii nice job!! Is it legal to drive around with those?
I can see it being a problem in some countries. Florida doesn't have inspection so no one cares.
Hey mate how much wat did the led headlight needed to be?
No idea. I just bought some jeep headlights off ebay with good reviews.
I don't karen if it looks Russian, i care that it looks awesome. Nice job.
Haha I'm real happy with it for sure!
tell me where you bought such lenses , share the link
ebay jeep headlights for like $40
Where did you buy the lights? Link please
Ebay, just pick a set of 7 inch jeep lights you like.
Hey mate. Where did the exhaust video end up?
Never made it :) I'll put some clips into the full Build video. Gonna edit it today or tomorrow actually. Been too busy hiking in California
where did you get the headlights ?
ebay jeep headlights for like 40 bucks
The lights look so good. Did you manage to make a vid on how to hook up the two wires for the halos and turn signal? I note the camo vinyl vid shows them workin. Cheers
Yeah everything works 100% now. Need to edit and upload the video for it. Been crazy busy and have such a backlog :)
Sweet man, no problem. Thanks for the content, keep up the good work!
Can you link what hedlights you buy thanks 😀
Just look up 7 inch jeep headlights on eBay or Amazon and pick whichever you like best
Потрясающе!
На Паджеро 2 такие были и выглядели особенным, это выглядит еще круче!
Конечно под Русские зимы это нужно будет как-то адаптировать, герметизировать посадочное место самой фары.
Может кольцо туда уплотнительное из твердого паралона
Себе такие буду делать по-любому)
Привет из России с любовью)
Если лензы без трещин то их можно прям назад поставить поверх фар. Или сделать из какого нибудь пластика панель чтобы закрыть фары. Или новые лензы купить. Они не дорогие - мне просто не надо было
Where can I get thats fronts light bro????
Any 7 inch jeep headlights you'd like.
Awesome work!! I’m inspired! You ever wanna sell them you let me know lol! Awesome work though! 👌✌️
Haha thank you. Im thinking of selling the whole thing but man, it looks so good now especially with camo and snorkel
@@LeoTheRussian ahhh damn man, I’ve just bought one lol. Yours does look very good! I’m taking inspiration from it. Based in UK so keep it up. I hope you don’t sell but if you do I look forward to the next project ✌️👌.
@@SuperCoop yeah I'm on the fence either fix it up a bit more or get a lexus/Toyota platform and do similar thing.
nice machine 🔥
Hi how are you, i just a bought 2002 montero cachetona 85,000 miles black color in good condition for 2,500$ is this a good price??
If maintenance is up to date it's a steal. Even if not it's still sounds like a good deal
thank, after 2 months with my chipmunk comment i am back, telling today i start the headlight on my pajero !
Don't you have the one you made as for sale?coz i checked on EBay but they don't sell them
The jeep lights or the entire assembly to fit the montero?
@@LeoTheRussian the entire led heard lights to fit montero.the one u modified
@@rubenfilippus2956 ah. No I just made my pair. None for sale.
@@LeoTheRussian can you make for me one pair than?
What lift kit do you have ? Looks amazing!

thats a nice mod i wish i could do sth like that on my pinin (iO)
I'm about to bake apart my GX470 headlights and mod them as well :)
Hi. What happened to the starting issues you had in your last video. Thanks
Just a throttle body. Mine was janky and my friend said that when I first got the truck but it kind of gotten forgotten :) previous owner tried to fix something with what looked to be epoxy or something.
@@LeoTheRussian Superb as long as it is working now..
sad, in germany this will not work :(
Yeah it'd have to be a place where no one cares like florida. Doubt even russia would let me do this
Где та5ие фары купить можно?
7 дюймовые от Джипа Wrangler JK
Круто получилось!!!где такие купить можно?
на ebay - Jeep Headlights 7 inch я купил
Прикольно получилось, но без стекла в фарах много грязи и пыли будет попадать.
во флориде не проблема. Можно из пластика или лексана сделать панель и прикрутить. Я мож в будущем так сделаю но пока руки не дошли
👍круть
Looks like kolhoz
well dang... imma go drink potato water to not be sad
@@LeoTheRussian like
I Russian! I like it! =))))
Это просто бомба
согласен! вышло неплохо
i hope the chipmunk its rip
