So the lights just bolt in the same as the standard fairmont lights?
I was looking at putting a typhoon style bodykit that's in ebay |

You will still need to change the bonnet even if you are changing the front bar.

As was said, you will need to change the bonnet to a GLi one.

Yeah I've read they are different.
I was thinking maybe it could be cut at the wiper section and shorten then change hinge location. Or is the bonnet on an xh wider with a different curve? I've never seen them side by side

I have cut up the odd bonnet or two but do you realise the work required to do what you want? Many have talked about the Fairmont bonnet but I have never seen it done. Grab hold of an old GLi bonnet and measure it up. If you can make a GLi work then you will be able to do it to the Fairmont bonnet. |

Great point!
Mates got a wrecking yard! Hopefully he's got a spare and if he does... let the cutting begin! haha If I found an easy way it might be worth doing a thread on it to help the x series drivers.
