swapping headlights + aircon question

Post by Scoota »

Does anyone know if its possible to take the round headlights out of my 94' SWB 3.5 pajero and fit the square ones from a diesel? i like the look of them better, the overall shape appears to be similar, but i would think the mounting points would be different? maybe requiring abit of pannel beating to make them fit?

Next question - will an aircon compressor from a 93' 3.0 v6 LWB pajero be ok to replace mine with? from what i understand my pajero uses the new refridgerant, where-as the 93' would have been using the older system. but i imagine the mechanical bits would be very similar?

Cheers - Travis

The lights don't fit very easily, but if you got enough bitss then it might work ok, I tried also but was going to need a new side guard from memory I think

Ok so i brought the 93' aircon compressor anyway for $45, got mine out last night, thought it would drop out the bottom between the sway bar and radiator, but it wasnt to be. so had to remove the battery holder. Body of compressor was the same, just had to swap over the manifold on top of the compressor as there were a few differences - four cap screws and it was all done, probably should have replaced all the orings..but im sure the vacuum test will pick up on that.

Next up - make the headlights fit..
