I got them on mine. I went to the UK Ebay site. The site is www.ebay.co.uk. They weren't specifically listed, but I found somebody parting out their Cherokee, and they had them available.

Here they are on mine:

I get about a bit in the UK. If you wanted I could find a pair on a salvage website, get them and ship them over to you?

I have seen them from time to time but they were super expensive. Not sure why. You do realize that those tailights have rear fogs. Which means that there are four light sockets in that harness instead of 3 like with your XJ. Kinda wonder what A rear fog is.

Rear fogs are standard equipment on European vehicles. They’re just really bright and red. It helps vehicle behind you to see you in dense fog. They would be on a switch and only turned on when needed. Our Touareg has the same spec taillight only no wires and no bulb.

And that's why we have four switches in the panel by the cigarette lighter on most UK Cherokees. The front fogs were optional but very common and the rears are compulsory over here. There's still no space for extra switches

Unless you score a 4 bezel switch from England, for about $25 shipped to the US, live in the US and can remove the rear fog light switch, and put in a EXT IDLE switch. LOL.

I have a question. I saw some euro spec factory headlights for the XJ. They were listed as left and right with separate part numbers. I did a little googling but couldn’t find the answer as to why the left and right headlights are different from one another. So please could you explain that to me?

Could you list the part numbers or a link to what info you did find. Cause I am curious. I have a guess but doubt this is why. In European versions you can adjust the level of the headlights from inside. I believe this is for when you are towing, the front end sits a little higher cause of the weight in the back , so do the headlights, and you can lower them to not blind people. There is an adjuster in the radio bezel. See the shot below. On the lower left under the shifter. You can just make it out. Here is what the adjuster looks like.

There is all sorts of other parts to this. I have seen a picture of the components here and there. Here is a shot of the "motor".
