I just purchased a 02 Montero limited. I'm not really a fan of the headlights or grill. Will the 03 grill and headlights fit? Thanks in advance.

 

Looking at pictures the only difference seems to be in appearance.. I would bet they will match up perfect.

 

I can live with the headlights but that grill is an eye sore. Anyone has confirmation if it's an actual fit? I would like to purchases one.

 

the black housing headlights on the 01-02 is a huge plus over 03+
you should see the trouble people go through just to get blackhousing headlights (not just montero) but other car makes.

The grill is the same, a lot of the exterior stuff will swap. I bet if someone wanted they can do a full 03+ conversion on an 01-02

 

Thanks. I got used to the headlights. I think i'll keep them.

But the grill has to go lol. Thanks for your help!

 

Anyone have directions on how to remove the grill? I'm trying to get to my electric fan (not coming on) and cant' for the life of me figure out how to get the grill out.

 

Just a couple of clips on the corners and one in the middle then put your hand behind the grill and give it a tap outwards and it will pop right out. A word of the wise...ditch those clips and just zip tie it back.

 

Thanks. The confidence to apply a little brute force was all it took.
