Hi just wondering what is the easiest way to convert a wb to round headlights? Is this simply sourcing a wb commercial round headlight radiator panel and the round headlight/indicator inserts that go next to the grille and fill in the rectangular space? And some round headlights of course and retaining its current grille.

Is this easier than say an HX conversion which requires a whole heap of panels?

Thanks

Given the wb round headlight front is even uglier than square, why would you? Just my stupid opinion of course.

haha ok yes Clay get your point but I think it is the grille that makes it ugly not the lights but fair point

Hi Andy.  I like the look of the Statesmen front but then again I have to as I don't have an option lol.  There is a guy on Gumtree that is currently selling WB Statesman Headlights (Tony in St Albans).  He knows a heap about this series and would have the answer. Also possibly have some parts if need be. Cheers Ron

You can do it with half a HJ - Z nosecone and headlight brackets if you change the mounting tabs on the front of the guards or the nosecone. They look good with the deeper stonetray
