why buy new ones? Get a night shade spray can and give it 1 good coat. If you mess up or dont like the look paint thinner will take it off.

If you haven't busted yours like I did mine, I'd just use the spray tint.

If you have regular lights lemme know, ill trade you but youll have to ship out first and ill ship my black ones when I get yours.. I cant stand having black tail-lights, or turn signals for that matter.

Blacked out tallights bring the gay, make you more of a cop magnet, and are more dangerous.

With that said I was sorta a fan of the red/white (no yellow) taillights that were installed on my xj when i bought it.

Why would you want to make the lights on your vehicle dimmer. I never understood why people like to do that.

clear or smoked blinkers/corner lights on black xj-image-2649263357.jpg

I'm kinda shootin for the all black look. So I'm partial to the smoked lights. All I care about is getting rid of the amber, so replacing the rears with a (lightly) smoked turn signal is the way to go.
