if they are like the cherokee you have to remove the front trim around the light first. Then there is four screws two above and two below the light

Hi i fitted a pair of Bedford Rascal headlight lenses to my Cherokee mk11, I had to remove a little metal from the fixing frames. The lenses  were a lot cheaper than Jeep £5.00 each s/h Ebay 0r £18.00 new. The cheapest I found on Ebay were £39.00 each s/h

have fitted headlights - is original jeep lamp also in good condition. only thing is the top right hand plastic tab is hard to lock back and no easy way to get to it, so slightly loose.

is there a knack to doing it ?
