Any who. So my running lights are being dumb. They either don't come at all or they come on after a while. I'm talking about just the rear ones. I always have brake lights and turn signals, but nothing else. Fuses are fine. I replacedosr of the harness a while ago.

I don't know if those will fit an xj, but it'll give you an idea of what you are looking for. They are made by felpro and they are called oil pan snap ups.

Iv read people used fishing line and tied it through the holes and once you screw in a few bolts then cut and pull the string out and thw gasket will stay from moving.
